Talk about the blind leading the blind!!!
Mac files can start with a "." - try it! That restriction was
removed years ago.
Mac files can be marked hidden (e.g. the Desktop file, the Trash folder...)
Netatalk doesn't show dot files to the Mac.
Because the Mac doesn't see dot files, it doesn't know to copy them.
It should be possible to get netatalk to tell the mac about dot files,
but mark them hidden. "Just a Simple Matter of Programming." (TM)
Naturally, special care would have to be taken for the .AppleDouble
directory.
Go on, tell me I'm wrong - I've not verified any of this.
Cheers,
Duncan.
