I think you should put them to /etc/rc2.d or /etc/rc3.d or both. I don't
know into which runlevel IRIX goes by default. Be sure to prefix the link
with S90 (or any other high number) to start Sharity AFTER the essential
system services.

The term 'online' has changed its meaning during recent years. Today it
means "visit our web site". That's not what was meant in this case. You
should click the "Help" button in the application and then (with the
question mark cursor) click the "List mounted servers only" item in the
"CIFS Browsers" section.

Please undo the changes you have made so far (or re-install). Then go to the
"CIFS Browsers" section and check the "List mounted servers only" checkbox
in expert mode. This will leave the CIFS directory empty. Now place a
symbolic link from somewhere to /CIFS/Your-server (Your-server replaced with
the actual server name, of course). Be careful to use the same
capitalisation as displayed when all servers are listed. Once you touch the
symlink, the server will appear in the CIFS directory and the symlink will
work.

Regards, Christian.
