Hi!
i've got to setup a new server for mac and pc clients. i've been using netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3-6.i386.rpm with redhat 6.0/6.1 for about a year now, primarily with OS8 clients, mostly 8.6. However, i have about 4 OS9 G4's on this new network, and i'm concerned. should i consider using win2k?
issues with the latest version as best i've been able to keep track of include:
1 DID's (primarily affects folder aliases, i can live with this problem for the time being)
2 case issues (i.e., This.txt and this.txt can coexist on the server, but not on the mac)
3 codepage issues (i've saved a recent email that showed a working netatalk/samba codepage setup, so this may go away)
4 quark file saving issues (not clear on what all the symptoms are, could someone elaborate?)
5 file locking issues (simultaneous access by a pc and a mac client leading to file corruption)
6 installation issues with redhat 6.2 (is there a site with detailed information on getting this working?)
any other issues i've missed?
thanks in advance
