Apple Double?

Hello,

I'm at 1.42b+asun2.1.3 on Solaris 2.6. I was having all sorts of problems
with clients reading .AppleDouble files (from a 1.42.b+asun2.1.0 setup),
so I decided to cleanse the file system by removing all the .AppleDouble
files, figuring they would be recreated, no big deal.

Well, that went ok and works, users have to open their files within the
application for the document, no big deal. However, the .AppleDouble files
created are bogus, I've been getting the following in syslog:

afpd[17612]: ad_refresh: can't parse AppleDouble header.
afpd[17084]: ad_refresh: can't parse AppleDouble header.

I've also noticed that the icon given to the file is not that of the
application used to modify/save the file. Seems to me a field is off
somewhere. Is there a fix for this? The only compile time settings I
changed were to leave out PAM support and enable Berkeley DB. Is there
something else I should have included?

Thanks,

Bill Carlson
