This would also fix problems of pc users moving or renaming a file and the mac
loosing the resource fork... My company would pay a nice shareware fee if
Samba and netatalk worked with each other!! :-)
What was this talk of the hsf module? Also does anyone know if netatalk would
handle resouce forks from an hfs mounted filesystem? Or is that what someone
was saying? We have some Mac Clip art cd's that we would love to share via
netatalk...
