Erik,

I don't think the mapping in the AppleVolumes is for CR<->LF translation.
I think that is just for assigning a files's creator and type based
on the 3-character filename extension.  It doesn't do anything else to the
file.

Netatalk does the CR/LF translation automatically for all text files.
the line below from the faq at http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk
tells how to disable that feature.


2.5 How do I disable CR/LF translation?

     To completely disable all CRLF translation, you should remove -DCRLF
from afpd's Makefile.
