I tried sharitylight some time ago and its a bit buggy and (AFAIK not actively
developed), I decided to pay the money (well my last company did) and get the 
full blown sharity which works very well.

Samba, however, _is_ rock solid. I tend to export shares from my FBSD box and 
transfer files to/from it using the Windows box. OK, if both boxes are within 
arms reach.
