That's a Linux Kernel SMBFS problem, not a Samba problem. The first
thing to try is the Linux CIFS filesystem instead. See
http://www.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html
or "man mount.cifs" but it may be as simple as replacing "smbfs" with
"cifs" in your /etc/fstab.
If that doesn't help, contact your Red Hat support person, or an
appropriate Linux kernel mailing list. Unfortunatly, I don't think
smbfs has an upstream maintainer, so switching to cifs really is the
best option.
