Sharity-light is basically obsolete, and poorly maintained, and somehow manages to both suck, *and* blow, at the same time. I'd recommend you try the BSD-native SMBFS. Here's a tutorial I wrote about it: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/bsd/2000/07/13/Big_Scary_Daemons.html O'Reillynet also has a useful sharity-light article; you can access it from the URL above.
