Hi,
I'm looking for current experiences in a mac environment where NFS/CIFS won't cut it (yes OS X supports them, but older systems exist). The toaster archives suggest that a Unix / netatalk gateway can work, but the latest post looks to be 2001-ish.
thanks, steve --- Steven Tylock SMTylock@Lynx-Systems.com
We provide home directories to our mac users via Netatalk. OS X can also connect via CIFS. There is a bug in the latest netatlk with MS Word. You get an error 'too many files open' if you try to save over an exisiting Word doc. Otherwise it's works great for us.

We use Xinet KA-Share on an SGI box to re-export NFS-mounted file systems as AppleShare. It works pretty well. I would think netatalk would work just as well, and be a lot cheaper.
