samba - Aug 1999 - Netatalk Support?

Reply-To: 
Hi

When configuring samba there is an option to turn on netatalk-support.
I did this, because we need to see the shared on both windows and mac, but I
couln't see any difference in sambas behaviour.

Netatalk stored the ressource-fork, and some files the Mac-Finder created in
Directories calles ".AppleDouble".
I hoped, that with netatalk-support samba would handle those dirs correctly,
but it still displays them when browsing from WinNT machines.

I (partly?) solved this using veto files, as described in the smb-manpages
(the example is for the use with netatalk), and now the files cannot be seed
from NT anymore - so far so good ;-)

But netatalk-support must do more than this - otherwise it wouldn't be
theer, would it?

Greetings, Florian Pflug

What does the --with-netatalk configuration option provide?  I'm assuming
there are hooks to move the resource fork files around when the data fork
file is moved through samba.  Can samba and netatalk coordinate file locks
with this enabled?
