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.  (Sorry, I only remember my own URLs. :)

Good luck!
