SMB/CIFS file system for Unix, mounts files from Windows.
Sharity mounts shares exported by Windows, Samba and other SMB/CIFS servers in the file system of Unix computers. Sharity implements Resource Browsing similar to the Windows Network Neighborhood (Netbios Workgroups and Active Directory), NTLM, NTLMv2 and Kerberos authentication, Microsoft's Distributed File System (DFS), manipulation of Access Control Lists (ACLs) and it is available for Mac OS X, Sun Solaris, HP-UX, SGI IRIX, IBM AIX, Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD operating systems.

The magic automounting behavior is pretty cool. Wish the GUI wouldn't minimize when you try to close it though, and were a bit more Mac-like.
