   Interesting approach. I would have thought that it would send legitimate
   finder info since I'm assuming that netatalk has to synthesize something
   halfway reasonable for files mapped by AppleVolumes files.

well, it send 0's in the hope that that works. anyways, i've put up a
pre-a15-2.tar.gz at ftp.u.washington.edu:/public/asun which actually
fills in the finder info a bit. i would like people to test it on both
os8 and os7 machines to see if it does the right thing.

the test:
        create a dummy file: dummy.doc
        mount the appleshare volume
          you should see dummy.doc w/ the correct icon for its type.
          you shouldn't see finder jumpiness.
        peek in the corresponding .AppleDouble directory. you
          shouldn't see dummy.doc.

also, for those having difficulties copying files to their netatalk
server (bsd machines, from the sound of it), could you run w/ -d and
report to me both the command and reply codes? something like the
following should work:
        grep -e "commands:" -e "reply" logfile

syslog's are also useful. the only test case i've been able to look at
reports an impossible error code. truly confusing.
