Hmm,

if you find hex-codes on your server, the appropriate codepages
(the translation for the umlauts et. al) are not used or not specified.

look at the AppleVolumes.default

if you declare
/var/lib/nobody "test-drive" codepage:maccode.iso8859-1
alle umlauts are converted correctly

/var/lib/nobody "test-drive" codepage:maccode.iso8859-1 options:nohex
also converts the umlauts but now slash is an illegal character in filenames.

If you use netatalk in conjunction with samba this could be helpful because
mac files with slash ( a legal mac character) are not allowed for the windumps'.

So if you have a file with htat character in a directory and windoze
users want to enter this specific directory they'll get an error reporting
that this directory hasn't been found or any other nonsense.
