I know you said you'd prefer to avoid samba, but it's working fine  
from my macbook pro and my other linux boxes on my network.  None of  
them are Debian though.  However, all my samba shares just showed up  
on my Mac, so I don't think you'd have a problem going that route,  
although you want to avoid it. ;)
