The default limit is 5.  You need to go to rc.atalk in /etc/rc.d and change
the afpd start adding '-c xx' where xx is the number of potential
concurrent macs to support.

if [ -f /usr/local/atalk/etc/afpd ]; then
        /usr/local/atalk/etc/afpd -c 40 ;   echo -n ' afpd'
fi

is what my rc.d looks like to support 40 concurrent macs.
my reference on 8/27/97 was:
http://www.stpt.usf.edu/~johnson/linux/faq.html#limit  which is still
valid.
