Well, I'm writing this from Mac OS X (with 10.1 patches on a UFS 
partition) using Claris E-Mailer under Classic running from and HFS+ 
partition. My NetBSD home directory is mounted and visible to OS X as it 
is from OS 9 and System 7.5.3. I didn't get fancy with my netatalk 
options, just used the basic ones to get things set up and running.  My 
shared volumes are running on NetBSD/sparc 1.5 but that shouldn't make 
any difference.  MacOS X sees the shared volumes from other "real" MacOS 
systems without a problem too.  My passwords are less than 8 characters 
in length if that makes a difference.
