My suggestion is to check out the book "Inside AppleTalk".  There is a whole
section on the AppleTalk Filing Protocol, complete with packet formats,
algorithms, rights, etc.  The book is published by Addison-Wesley and
is the best reference on AppleTalk that I have seen -- probably because the
guys who wrote AppleTalk are the ones who wrote the book!
