Hello,

in our company we have mac/linux/windows clients and I think about
adding the native service for each of those. the clients aren't under
my control but can be considered as trusted.

I know that samba+mac does work (to some extent) but I'm thinking
about adding netatalk so that mac users have a more native feeling
with all this (automagic share exploration, etc). My worries are
wether locking issues could occur. samba+nfs is working seamlessly
(nfs opened files are locked and samba das know about that) but does
afp also honor kernel oplocks, especially with this combination?

thanks
martin

can't answer your question directly, but doesn't apple support nfs?

And SMB...

Sadly, the common denominator between common computers (Windows/MacOS X/Unix)
is SMB filesharing (MS shares, Samba)...

I don't know if the AFS implementation available in Debian Etch has
support for files larger than 2 GB. You should check that before you
turn your users loose on it.

yes

and yes (somewhat)

the reason why i'd like to use netatalk too is that it should provide
native browsing capabilities to mac clients (like users have with
windows explorer and samba servers). I have to run around each day
just to type in the correct URI because people are to lazy to

a) either read the FAQ which lists all shares available or
b) are just to lazy to enter them
