Re: MAC file sharing
Back in the day I use to use neatalk the Linux AFP server but i'm not sure Mac OSX still uses AFP.

Re: MAC file sharing
Are you trying to share FROM Linux to Mac, or from Mac to Linux? A few weeks back, I wanted to share from my Mac to Linux, and had all sorts of difficulty. This is from El Capitan to the latest SL7 version. I could browse the Mac from the browser on the desktop, but I could not mount it from the command line or fstab. I ended up figuring out how to share NFS from my Mac, and it was available on Linux. I suspect that, for sharing from Linux, Samba would probably be your best choice.
