samba - Oct 2000 - Persistent Samba Share

We are using SMBMOUNT version  2.0.5 to connect a Red Hat linux box to an NT
share. 
The mount keeps dropping. Any recommendations on keeping the mount up 24x7? 
Are there any programs or existing scripts to facilitate this process?

There are a few things you could try.

* Upgrade to smbmount from the 2.0.7 samba package.

* Upgrade your linux kernel to 2.2.18-pre15 (or pre17 but there should be
  no difference regarding this problem).

* Apply this patch to the pre17 sources before compiling:
