Oh, how I loathe those resource forks.  I've been experimenting
with these resource forks a lot lately (why? a long, boring, and
pitiful tale), and I'm happy to report that the Mac actually
_does_ seem to preserve the resource forks over NFS.  If I copy a
file called "file" with a resource fork over NFS to the file
server it also copies over a file called "._file" which seems to
contain all that nice metadata.

Still, I don't trust it.
