I think it was added in the last 'test' versions (39b?). I certainly
have been creating aliases to folders on a Linux NetAtalk server and
re-connecting to the right folder each time, even after rebooting both
the client and server.
The only problem I have found is that the NetAtalk server seems to
identify it's own zone as '*', so sometimes when I click on an alias to
a folder on the server (and I haven't connected yet) it can't find the
server. But once a connection is made to that server (even to a
different share), the aliases resolve to the correct share/folder. Each
time.
I was going to try and fiddle with the rc.atalk script to explicitly
set the zone when it registers the name, not leaving it to attach to the
default zone. (Which is the correct zone, but....)
