Ok, if your wanting to do that then samba is probably your best bet.  

If that freaks you out then use the gui tools.  The samba-config stuff
now is pretty easy.  Just set the share, hit another tab and add the
samba users and finally fire up the config-services gui tools to start
the service up.

Worked just fine for me.
