Error Messages

So what error messages am I seeing? Here's a list, and what I know about them:

Error Message What the...?
uams_dhx_pam.c :PAM: PAM Success -- Interrupted system call
Means that you're using PAM to authenticate users (good). From what I could figure, this is PAM being overly verbose, and producing a message saying that it succeeded. Go figure.
uams_dhx_pam.c :PAM: PAM Auth OK!: (null) -- Inappropriate ioctl for device
Same as above.
setdirowner: chown -1/0 .AppleDouble/.Parent: Operation not permitted
No idea, have never seen a reasonable explanation for this.

asp_alrm: 15144 timed out
atp_rresp: Connection timed out
afp_die: asp_shutdown: Connection timed out
2.61KB read, 5.18KB written

Means that a user connection timed out, and has been closed by the server.
WARNING: DID conflict for 'untitled folder' and 'other folder'. Are these the same file?

Grrr... Netatalk isn't distinguishing between directories properly, with the unfortunate side effect that directories occasionally "disappear". This can be alleviated somewhat with the "--with-did=last" option (but not entirely) - see Jonas's excellent notes in the configure page on why. In 1.5pre6 it also broke Quark documents, but works well in 1.5.3.1 on a 2.4.xx kernel.
