uhm, right, i didn't think of programs implementing their own file
management routines, meaning using the netatalk routines for
handling files in samba is not bullet-proof either then, eh?
(and if that would be bullet-proof, i am sure a hotfix or service
pack for windows 9x/nt would find a way to break things again.)
bummer. :-/
so...the really safe way is to have separate windows and mac shares,
offering an exchange volume perhaps that people would have to be
educated about being possibly problematic?
