You can compile the hfs module to be 'netatalk-friendly':
>From the hfs module docs [bits cut out]:
If included in the options, then the behavior of the filesystem is
changed to make it fully read-write compatible with Netatalk's afpd.
In this mode you should not use normal user-level tools to modify the
filesystem, though reading from it is acceptable. This is because the
return codes from some system calls are changed to fool afpd. These
changes will confuse many user-level tools. In particular ``rm -r''
will loop forever.

You will probably want to use the uid=, gid= and umask= mount options.
Note that because all the files on an HFS filesystem belong to a
single user and group and have a single umask, the full AppleShare
permission scheme will not work through Netatalk.
.
.
This mode is known to be compatible with afpd from Netatalk versions
1.4b1 and 1.4b2, and known to be incompatible with the afpd from
version 1.3.3. As of this writing Netatalk version 1.4 has not yet
been released. However, it is expected that this mode will be
compatible with afpd from Netatalk version 1.4 when it is released.
So it looks like there are still lots of 'issues' to be cleared up. My
copy [version 0.95, 28 Apr 1997] may well be out of date. And no, I've
never tried it. Any guinea pigs out there? :)
