[Samba] Apple shares?

[Philip Edelbrock]

Incidently, I've founded a project a few weeks ago to tweak Netatalk to 
work specificly with OS-X and Samba 3.0 to ease the problems of a 
MacOS-9 and MacOS-X mixed environment.  Preserving resource-forks across 
file servers is a problem.  Products like DAVE don't address this unless 
every Mac is using it.

For those interested, here is our web site with some Beta code:
