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
