Samba device that integrates Pc and Apple Networks

[Reid, Rowan (GSP)]

I'm aware of that, but I have a client that wants a litttle device not
necesserily a new PC.
I though there was one available, prebuilt and configured. something that
functions like a dongle

Compile samba with --with-netatalk support, and then share the same
directory tree with both packages.
