samba - Dec 2001 - Samba/Netatalk delete problem

Hi all,

I'm have a Linux Box running samba and netatalk, and a file system 
shared with Mac and Windows users. My problem is that when a user in 
Windows delete a file that have a Macintosh label (color), and later the 
Windows user put another version of the file with the same name, the 
Macintosh label still apear (and this is not the behavior that i need).
I view in the file system that Netatalk creates a .AppleDouble folder in 
which contains files with the same names that the files with Mac labels 
(I think that this files are the Mac attributes), and this files are not 
deleted when a Windows user delete the original file (the problem).

I appreciate any help from us.

Samba used to have a --with-netatalk configure option that did this kind
of stuff.  From my understanding the code dissapeared with the
introduction of the VFS layer.

Sombody needs to write a new 'netatalk' VFS module to do this kind of
thing.  (Same deal is needed for copy and delete I presume).
