Subject: [netatalk-admins] creating aliases

Hello,
We are running netatalk 1.3.3 on a linux system 2.0
Some of the users want to create an alias on their desktop (Mac os 7.5)
to some directories on the Linux fileserver. They follow the following
procedure :
1. create an alias on the fileserver
2. copy the alias to their desktop
3. delete the alias on the fileserver
When they access the alias on the desktop, they come in a complete
different directory on the unix server. They have the impression that
in the beginning it is working fine, but after a while the computer is
somehow loosing the right connection. I can understand netatalk has
some problems, because deleting the aliases on the unix-server will
delete the info in the .AppleDouble directory.
Is there any procedure to make an alias on the right way?
thanks,
Chris
