Sounds like the "persistent file id's" (lack of!) problem. It may be
relevant for you to detail which applications the users concerned are
having problems with.

I have problems with Eudora and ClarisWorks which effectively render
netatalk unusable except for a techie (such as myself) who can understand
something of what is going on behind the scenes and take appropriate
corrective action when necessary.

Not wishing to be (too) provocative here, I have to ask: Does anybody use
netatalk successfully in a "real world" environment? And if yes, how do
they do it? Guidelines please... :-)
