samba - Sep 1999 - Cannot access nt shares after a few minutes

Hi,

I´ running samba 2.0.5a and Linux 2.2.5. After smbmount sucessfully mounted my
four nt-shares it lost the connection after 15 or more minutes. I´ve no idea
why. The log reads

smb_retry: signal failed: error=-3

I can remount all shares every 5 minutes but this doesn´t seem to be a good
solution. 

Anyone who has a fix for this?

It's a work in progress.  Hopefully it will be fixed in 2.0.6--that's
the word, anyhow.  For now, try defining SMBFS_DEBUG in the top of the
smbmount.c somewhere (it's in there, just commented out), and recompile
smbmount.  That seems like the easiest *!temporary!* fix for now,
anyhow.

Worked for me, hopefully for you.
