I've noticed that MacOS seems to handle that on its own. I've found no
code in netatalk to specifically handle the trash, and it has worked fine
in all of my tests, starting with 1.4b2+asun2.1.4

I saw another posting about file locking earlier today. I've never had a
problem with it. If two users open up the same Word file on the server,
for example, the second person to access it is asked if they want to open
it read-only since the file is already in use by someone else. *shrug*
