There are two packages which would provide Appleshare file service from unix servers to Macintosh clients. One is called 'CAP', the other is called Netatalk. I suspect that Netatalk is used more (at least on FreeBSD), but I personally have used CAP more. CAP does have an option to translate between cr's and lf's, but in my experience there are times when the heuristic for when to do that translation is not always correct. Ie, sometimes CAP thinks a file is "text" (and does the conversion) when the file is in fact binary, or CAP thinks the file is binary when in fact it is text. This is particularly easy to happen with the Mac as Mac users may often use non-standard-ascii characters (like option-f, or umlauts and accents over vowels). -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
