Have you taken a look at (for example) this page?
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2003/03/18/samba.html
Don't have a Mac, so I can't try this stuff, but it's TCP/IP, and if you get the workgroup. hostname, passwords, etc right, it should work.

[Edit - I googled 'access samba from a mac' to find this. ]

It works, at my home network. I have a iMAC with 10.4 connected to a Network SUSE Linux Enterprise 9 Server.
You can use the SAMBA SWAT tool for the config.
This allows you to view and change the configuration from Samba sharing with a web browser. You can run SWAT from xinetd or inetd.
Example
create a file in named it swat
Paste this contents
| Code: | service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
only_from = localhost
groups = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = No
} |
Edit to include
Restart the xinetd daemon
| Code: | | sudo kill -HUP `cat /var/run/xinetd.pid |
if it doesn't work try
| Code: | | sudo xinetd -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid |
Now you good to go, login to SWAT from a browser, using the url http:/localhost:901. You can log in with "USER". If you need full access then you must log in ROOT. |
