You will need netatalk for the macs and samba for the windows machines.
I had netatalk running fine on 7.2, but can't seem to get it working 
correctly on 8.0.

[newbie] Accessing Linux shares from a Mac

[Mark Johnson]

Is it possible to setup shares such that both Windows and Mac machines can
access them.  Can SAMBA work for both OSs?  I need a solution because my
office is half Windows 98 and half Mac 9.0 and currently the file server is
a Mac using PCMacLAN.  We won't to move the shares onto a linux machine but
it doesn't look like it's possible to access the shares on Linux from MAC.
Using an FTP client on the Mac is out of the question because the users
won't go for it.

Any suggestions?
