AFP-support useless for OS X Leopard users?

Hi
I've been trying to get the AFP-support up and running with my MacBook Pro, running OS X Leopard 10.6.
But with no luck. What i've read netatalk that the AFP-protcol uses can't be used with Leopard beacuse it needs encryption that netatalk don't have. Have I got this right and if so is there any plan to solve this problem in the near future. Would be nice to know before I start working on a solution on my own.
Merry Christmas!

What problems are you having? I have no trouble connecting my Snow Leopard machines to Bubba via AFP. Here's my AppleVolumes.default file:
~/ "$u" cnidscheme:cdb options:usedots,upriv
/home/Media/ "Media" cnidscheme:dbd options:nohex,usedots,upriv,noadouble dbpath
:/var/lib/netatalk

I'm new to the mac world but the AFP-share doesn't pop up in the finder window. I just get the Samba-share. Have tried with the samba shut off as well. Then I get nothing...
I think thats the thing. OS X 10.6 refuse unencrypted afp-connections. Due to saftey issues.
Just want someone to confirm this

Hmm... I didn't have to do anything special, either to my Mac or to my Bubba, to get my AFP connection working.

ops I got your post wrong. Thought you had problems too. Wonder what's wrong with my setup then?
Anyone?

Not a great deal of help, but AFP seems to be working fine for me too. Using 10.6.2, ethernet connection. (It also works over wireless I believe, I'll switch over later and check).
I haven't customised anything, so I don't think it works due to anything I've done. If there's anything I can do to check on my side that may help diagnose your problem, let me know. (Though I'm only around for the next 36 hours or so, then I'll be away from the Bubba for a week).

Thanks! but I think the problem was my router. Netgear-crap. Got an Airport Express for christmas and then the AFP-share poped up in finder.
Now I just need to get the time machine up and running.
Happy new year
