Subject: [netatalk-admins] iso-latin filenames

Hi!
I once hacked up afpd (both 1.4b and later asun's version as of jan 98)
to allow it to represent filenames using ISO-Latin characters, thus
making it more interoperable with unix and samba when using non-ascii
characters. These patches have served us well, but they won't work with
recent versions of asun's netatalk. I haven't had time to check it out
thoroughly, but from the top of my head: the patches apply fine, but the
character translation back from unix seems to be screwed up. There are
probably some new functions I have to dig into, that perhaps has to do
with very long filenames or so?
Could someone please give me a pointer as to were in the code I shall be
looking? Also, if you have working patches, I'm interested. ;-)
I have been asked by several people over the last year to set up a
www-page with info on how to interoperate samba/unix/netatalk with
iso-latin file names, and once I get it working properly I will. I'll
keep you posted.
Regards,
Palle
