After a while the linix client (which happens to be the same box as the server) drops connection to samba. The XP boxes have no problems Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. smbmount share eg: smbmount //data_cc/datacc data1 2. share mounts and works fine for a while 3. Actual Results: after a while share stops working with many error messages on root console (noton console that mounted) Additional info:
Smbfs is part of the Linux kernel, not part of Samba. I'm redirecting this bug to the correct assignee.
