Well, this isn't really doing anything with netatalk, but rather MacOS,
but this works for me:
Download a copy of "Hidden Finder Features," which should be available
at any info-mac mirror. This is a control panel that gives you the
option of enabling some parts of the Finder that are disabled by
default, including the ability to hold down control while dragging an
item in order to create an alias to that item in the new location.
(Control-drag makes an alias)
Making new aliases that way works well for me (MacOS 7.6.1 and netatalk
1.3.3 through 1.4b2+asun14...)
