If you want a short description of what Sharity-Light can do for you: you can mount volumes exported by Windows or related operating systems on your Unix machine. For a more detailed description I will quote from the README file: What does Sharity-Light do? =========================== If you know smbfs for Linux: Sharity-Light is roughly the same. It is derived from smbfs, but runs as a user level program, not in the kernel. If you know samba: Sharity-Light is roughly the opposite: a client for the Lanmanager protocol. If you know neither of these: Sharity-Light lets you mount drives exported by Windows (f.Workgroups/95/NT), Lan Manager, OS/2 etc. on Unix machines. WWW: http://www.obdev.at/products/index.html
