How would we deal with aliases in this case?
I'm relatively new to the mac world. Do aliases use strait paths ie
zone:comp:share:dir:dir:file? Or some number? How do we make sure
that if new files are added with the same begining 31 chars that the
first short name wouldn't change?
Sorry, this is probably already handled in samba...
