Yes, I didn't mean to sound as if I was discounting your idea as I think you are on the right track. Here is a snippet from a filesystem which I know was being shared by NetAtalk and Samba. The only NetAtalk client recently was MacOS X 10.2.3 but has been used by everything since 7.6.1 and a good number of FreeBSD's since 3-something. ls -laCF | more total 200310 drwxr-xr-x 18 dkelly wheel 1536 Jan 15 11:35 ./ drwxrwxr-x 6 dkelly wheel 512 Feb 7 14:27 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 dkelly wheel 512 Jan 6 16:46 .AppleDB/ drwxr-xr-x 11 dkelly wheel 512 Nov 21 17:21 .AppleDesktop/ drwxr-xr-x 2 dkelly wheel 512 Jan 15 11:35 .AppleDouble/ -rwxr--r-- 1 dkelly wheel 6148 Oct 18 16:14 .DS_Store* -rw-r--r-- 1 dkelly wheel 6148 Jan 15 11:35 :2eDS_Store I believe .DS_Store and :2eDS_Store are unique to MacOS X and created by MacOS X. "2e" is hex for an ASCII dot, my guess is :2e is an Apple escape mechanism for the dot. Also think I have mounted the above on my Jaguar system via both AppleTalk and Samba protocols. This week I upgraded the above FreeBSD machine to 5.0. Prior to the upgrade I removed all ports. Had a rough time trying to upgrade via "make". Another rough time trying to do a binary upgrade via CD. Eventually wiped my entire boot drive and did a clean installation from CD. So I don't have NetAtalk nor Samba reinstalled just yet. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
