I have only ever set up a linux box to Samba share a directory so that
it is accessible from Windows, so I have no idea how to solve your
problem, sorry. However, if you simply want to share directories over
a network, you could look into nfs

http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/

My desktop linux box automatically mounts my linux servers music
directory, as if it was a local filesystem.

I guess it depends on your needs (also, nfs might not be supported by
Macs, i dont know).
