In the README-smbmount file in the top dir of 2.0.5a:

The Samba-Team wishes to make known that the above programs are a part

the SMBFS software package for the Linux operating system. They are very
definitely NOT part of Samba and are in general NOT supported by the

Maybe there's hope if Tridgell has the copyright on it.....
On a more constructive note, what in NT/samba combination would cause
the connection to drop, if everything is working normally? By
normally, I mean, none of the machines are rebooted, net connections all
fine, etc. I would really like to have a place to start poking at, even
though I'm no expert C hacker. If there were some documentation around
describing the sequence of events that happens while a samba share is
mounted (i.e., after the initial mount, when it's trying to stay
mounted), those would be helpful, as well. Maybe some flowcharts or
something?
This thing has been a nasty bug for a long time. We need to fix it,
regardless if it's "samba's problem" or "smbfs's problem". A little
solidarity here would, I think, be a good thing.
I'm kinda surprised Linux detractors haven't picked up on this...
