-.RS 4
-Allows Mac OS X clients (10\&.3\&.3\-10\&.4) to automagically establish a tunneled AFP connection through SSH\&. If this option is set, the server\'s answers to client\'s FPGetSrvrInfo requests contain an additional entry\&. It depends on both client\'s settings and a correctly configured and running

-Setting this option is not recommended since globally encrypting AFP connections via SSH will increase the server\'s load significantly\&. On the other hand, Apple\'s client side implementation of this feature in MacOS X versions prior to 10\&.3\&.4 contained a security flaw\&.

-client_polling \fB(G)\fR
-.RS 4
-With this switch enabled, afpd won\'t advertise that it is capable of server notifications, so that connected clients poll the server every 10 seconds to detect changes in opened server windows\&.
-\fINote\fR: Depending on the number of simultaneously connected clients and the network\'s speed, this can lead to a significant higher load on your network!

-.RS 4
-Enable "Continuous AFP Service"\&. This means the ability to stop the master afpd process with a SIGQUIT signal, possibly install an afpd update and start the afpd process\&. Existing AFP sessions afpd processes will remain unaffected\&. Technically they will be notified of the master afpd shutdown, sleep 15\-20 seconds and then try to reconnect their IPC channel to the master afpd process\&. If this reconnect fails, the sessions are in an undefined state\&. Therefor it\'s absolutely critical to restart the master process in time!
