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:

If using MacOS X, you can connect to a Samba share via:
in the 'Finder', use Command-K ('Go' menu)
in the dialog box which should come up, use:
smb://servername/
and click 'Connect'
If using earlier versions of MacOS (7.x-9.x), you would need some
other product, either on the Mac or on the server.
For the Mac, there is a product call 'Dave' from Thursby Software Systems
<http://www.thursby.com/products/dave.html>
Or, on the server you can use 'Netatalk' -- just like samba, but for sharing Appletalk volumes. See <http://sourceforge.net/projects/netatalk/>
You can download the current version 1.6.0 at <
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8642&release_id=125246
I use both on my Linux server at home...
Biggest difference for me:
-Max OS X + Samba support long (32+ char) file names
MacOS 9 and Netatalk do not.

Subject: [Samba] Apple shares?
Hi,
I have a need to do some file transfers between my AIX 4.3.3 boxes and Apple
PC's. I use SAMBA to provide shares to PC's, but I know nothing about Apple.
FTP is an option, but less desirable than setting up a share. Does anyone
have experience with using SAMBA to set up shares with Apple clients?
I know that there are, other products to accomplish what I ask, but in terms
of support I would prefer to use what is in place rather than configure and
support another product.
All comments are appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
