I have a firewire hard drive connected to my iMac (OSX 10.2.x). Can I share it so that a windows PC can access it over my home network?

If so, how do I do it?

For sharing with other Macs, there is a program called Share Points that will let you customize this stuff on OS X Client. I would imagine that the process for sharing over SMB is either identical or very similar.

If Share Points doesn't do the trick for a PC, you can look into some of the open source alternatives to control Samba.

Fire up SWAT...it comes with OS X.
It allows you to configure SMB shares.
signatures are a waste of bandwidth
especially ones with political tripe in them.
