Nicholas,
Here's a excerpt from somewhere in the docs.
# volume format:
# path [name] [casefold=x] [codepage=y] [options=z,l,j] \
# [access=a,@b,c,d] [dbpath=path] [password=p]
..
# miscellaneous options
# noadouble -> don't create .AppleDouble unless a resource
# fork needs to be created.
But my experience with netatalk shows, that every directory still has
.AppleDouble inside even with this option set. Maybe Macintosh clients need
resource forks of some temporary files? So, could you pass me a script that
removes .AppleDoubles ;)
