I've got the beginnings of such a beast here. Currently, we are running CAP and
Samba together & we face much the same sort of problem as the folks that run
Netatalk and samba. I've hacked at samba a bit so that it knows to create the
hidden directories that CAP uses. I also have some (as yet, untested) code that in
theory should do the same for a NetAtalk share.
I have not investigated the netatalk code very much, so I am at a loss as to how
to handle moving and copying of Mac applications under samba. Specifically, I am
not entirely sure how to make samba become aware of .AppleDesktop.
If there is sufficient interest, I might clean up the patches and send them out to
you guys to hack away at.
