The Samba server depends heavily on unix functions so will be very hard to port. The SMB/CIFS protocol is complicated so a new implementation made specifically for Xbox is unlikely to come. Other SMB servers then Samba and Win32 exist but are all closed-source AFAIK.

I think porting of samba should easily be done by using something like cygwin (also ported) as Unix API layer!?
