Subject: Network Trash Can / MacOS 9.04

Hi folks,
we are using a stock SuSE 6.4 with netatalk 1.4b2+asun2.1.3 at a
customers site with about 40 Macs installed with MacOS 8.5, 8.6 and
some 9.04 machines. When I have the Network Trash Can enabled
(having set read/write permission) and connecting from the 9.04 Macs
sometimes (mostly after a connection has been hard-reset and
reconnected)
the contents of the volume are doubled to the Trash Can-folder (not
the real files, but the structure). I browsed through the archives of
this mailing-list and found as the only suggested solution disabling
the Network Trash Folder.
Can somebody perhaps give me a short description on how the Network
Trash Can works? (Which File/Folder generation is initiated by the Mac,
which by netatalk due to the file-protocol spec? Why does the first user
sometimes generates a Trash Can #2, but never a second, different user
on the same volume?)
I asked the customer to work without a Network Trash Can, but this is
not the favoured working process in his company.
Did someone find a working solution to this problem?
thank you,
jan
