[Gllug] Serving files to Mac clients

[David Coles]

Hi Richard.

I found Netatalk to work very well with 10.4, particularly using Kerberos 
authentication - almost transparent to users (no encryption though, 
sadly). My successor at the place where I was running it has been 
complaining that 10.5 has buggered everything up though. YMMV.
