Duh!
But your Mac client, that connects to the netatalk volume WILL execute
and run the worm, and once it is running on the clinet, *THAT* infected
system can do what the worm loves to do - infect more volumes, and damage
files (including those on the server).
What the server runs is irrelevant - as long as Macs connect to it.
