You don't need a samba server to use unison between two computers.

IMHO the simplest way is to use *unison-gtk* via ssh. No need to setup
samba.

rsync is just one-way, while unison will synchronize in both directions
and will detect which of computers A or B has the current version.
(Optionally files can even be merged, if both have changed.)
