Samba and Netatalk play completely wonderfully nice together... As long
as you don't want users from both platforms simultaneously being able to
access the same files, that is. There are severe locking issues (even
NT/2000 doesn't handle it all that great). But if you're doing something
like a Home Directory server (where, theoretically, no one will ever be
on two computers at the same time, let alone 2 computers of different
platforms at the same time) it works really really well. I've got
serveral very large Netatalk+Samba installations out there (clients),
and even a couple here @ the College.
