Does this package change anything else?

1.  Netatalk on the Qube2 used to allow "/" in filenames.  Netatalk of the
Qube3 does not.

2.  Adding new groups or doing almost anything to printers on a Qube3 shuts
down all Appleshare facilites (i.e. disconnects users).

These two issues are a real pain with the installed version.

What changed wrt MacOS X?  I use MacOS X with my current Qube3 configuration
and have not experienced any problems.  Should I expect to?

Cheers,  Malcolm
