Is it possible to configure netatalk to reject certain characters in
file/folder names?

We have a mixed Windows/Mac environment, and characters like "/", which are
OK for Macs and used a lot, cause problems in Windows/Samba.

As it is, Netatalk encodes the character so it's ok on Unix ("/" becomes
":2f"), but then the file/folder cannot be accesses from Windows.

Thanks!

Milivoj
