I'm a little unclear on some of the AppleVolumes options so I was hoping you folks could help (I will add the information to the AppleVolumes.default file in the Sourceforge netatalk project). I also apologize for the cross-post, but I wanted netatalk-devel to have a copy of this in case someone is working on modifying the effect of some of those options.
crlf = I heard this was one way. I assume that means if a Unix text file is created, it is translated to a Mac text file during transport. I also heard that at the moment, Macintosh text files aren't translated to Unix text files when they're written. Is that correct? Do I have that backwards?
mswindows = I didn't even realize there was a difference in filename restrictions. I know Unix file names can be much longer than Macintosh file names,... how does this option change afpd's behavior?
dbpath:path = It's a database, but a database of what? RandNum encrypted passwords? File resource data?
password:password = why anyone would store a password in plaintext here is beyond me. But the comments don't say anything about encryption. Does anything change if one of the encrypted UAMs are activated?
