I was actually part of that previous discussion. The general consensus was the samba 2.0.3 was *supposed* to have fixed the timeout problems. Many people seem to be still having problems, however. I'm not sure about the smbmount daemon thing. My understanding is that smbmount *is* the daemon.
What it boils down to, it seems to me, is that NT seems to think that the smbmount client has disconnected. This is probably a bug on NT's part, but in our martyrdom we are forced to work around and accomodate the failings of other OS's in ways they would never do for us. :/ So what we probably need is a hard keepalive generated to the NT server often enough to keep it from disconnecting, since the reconnect part doesn't seem to work well.
It's also a little unclear as to whether this is a kernel problem or a samba problem. All the messages I get in my logs are from the kernel, for what that's worth.
