Hi John,
Thanks for the test results. I'm not sure why the filemode 5xxx is failing, particularly in the proc_readdir_long, but will have to check further.
With regards to dropped connections, smbfs is supposed to recover and reconnect automatically. One thing you could check -- after you're pretty sure Win 95 has dropped the connection, but before trying any smbfs activity, do a ps -ax to make sure the smbmount process is still active. Then try a df command, and check the ps -ax again for the smbmount process.
Regards, Bill
