*sigh* Flint asked "Is there any possible way to share a volume
mounted with the Linux implementation of the HFS filesystem?" The
answer to that question *IS* "Yup works fine". Sure if you want
resource fork functionality you'll be at a loss (as I mentioned).

Aha! So you're judging my statement as wrong because of your
definition of "function". Well so be it. We can quibble semantics
all day long.

Someone posted a kludge to one of these lists eons ago.. I think it
was linux-atalk@netspace.org, but I can't remember.

To my knowledge, there is not such plan within the current
contributors to the Netatalk source. This functionality DOES exist
in proprietary extensions of Netatalk used by 3rd parties who don't
like to share because the current licensing doesn't make them share.
