For the first few weeks of running the Netatalk/Samba combination, I
didn't have the codepage support switched on (didn't know about it or
couldn't get it to work, or something in between). The files that where
created in those first few weeks appear with ugly things like '9:' in
their names where the Mac users used umlauts. Now, with codepage support
enabled, i.e.
character set = iso8859-1
in /etc/smb.conf
and e.g.
/mnt/zeug zeug codepage=maccode.iso8859-1
in /etc/atalk/AppleVolumes.default
if I create a Folder with '/' in its name on a Mac, it will show up as
':2f' on the PC.
