In a word:  SAMBA.

Samba is a daemon written for linux to allow exporting of linux filesystems
using the SMB protocol  (Windows, Windows for Workgroups, 95, NT, any other
version Microsoft can come up with  ;)

Samba comes with most distributions of linux and in the event that yours
doesn't, heres the development site where you can get the latest version
(also avaliable for other variants of unix, and I believe that there is an
OS/2 version)

http://lake.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba/

Here you will also find all relevant documentation, although finding
someone who is currently using it may be of some benefit.

Hope this helps
