As you might be aware, Mac's tend to use characters in file names usually not used on UN*X systems, namely in the range \0x01-\0x1F and \0x7f-\0xff. Especially annoing is the "Icon\0x0D" for Custom Icons on Folders or Volumes. I will put a patch in the netatalk port that maps all characters outside of \0x20 to \0x7E (aka isprint()) to the equivalent hex ":xx" sequence. This will break access to files which names contain characters in the range \0x01 to \0x1F; they no longer will be accessible from any AFP client (they will be visible, but the client will get a "file not found" error when trying to access it). If nobody objects, I'll commit this the next few days.
