Dear,

I have having 2 problems with netatalk...

1. In some areas in a share, you probably don't want to allow write access.
For example, first level in a share. You want your users to follow your
archives system. Here comes the problem. Let's say this is the archives
system layout:

/home/archives (mode 755, own by admin)
  projects (mode 777)
  development (mode 775)

If you connect to the share as user1, netatalk will think that
/home/archives does not own by you, and you can't create or overwrite
resource folks (.AppleDesktop/.AppleDouble). Can netatalk be setup so that
it will check the permission against .AppleDesktop/.AppleDouble and not the
current path?

2. Can netatalk be setup so that it will be showing available space based on
current open path and not the share path? If you have multi s-links in a
share, you are not going to get the correct available space. You might even
have problems to upload files due to space calculation errors.

I appreciate if someone can address above comments. Thank you for your time
and help.

Best Regards,
Alex
