Subject: [netatalk-admins] I'm worried..

I've just got netatalk going fine and purring, and am about to bring
the Server on-line for the masses..well..all twenty of us anyway..
But, with a bit of talk recently on the list about Mac->Unix file translation,
I'm really worried about the prospect of files being mis-translated or
somehow corrupted. Especially important graphics and database/spreadsheet
files..
What are the opinions and experiences out there ? - Do the default mappings
that come in AppleVolumes.system suffice to take care of everything to
satisfaction or have they caused problems for people..?
I also added in additional mappings that were supplied to the list from
last year,
hoping to cover as many file types as possible, tho the users here tend not to
suffix files according to the file type - tending to rely on longish
descriptive
names instead. I noticed that the new mappongs I took from the
list-posting used
completely new file typings, like GKON, R*CH, SCPL - was I wise to add these
into AppleVolumes.system ?
Many thanks for any advice, experiences or suggestions,
Tony.
