Other schemes could depend on softlinks to that directory. (would only have to be fixed up when folders were created) Mangling the name in the current directory is ugly. The easy road to get executor to deal with a network on a netatalk-supported host will be to depend on kernel DDP and link in the netatalk libs. so why not use a compatible naming scheme now and avoid the headache later? btw, ardi's bugs/feedback page is broken. anyone there?
