Yes, the keyword is samba.

Hi Andreas

Strictly speaking mapping is a client function that more or less says
that a specific drive letter is equal to a "server" share name.

I am sure you have created a share on a Windows machine. You can then
see that share as an item in "Network Places". (Note that by default a
WXP machine firewall will make using that share initially problematic!)

The same kind of facility to create shares is available under Linux.
That is roughly speaking what samba does. It creates SMB/CIFS services
not unlike Windows server equipment.

Get samba running and have a look at its shares through "Network
Places". You can then map a drive letter to it.

The above is of course somewhat simplistic. If you want further setup
etc help pls ask.

Cheers Bob
