Thanks for racking my brains :-)

Would you have some details on the 'logoff thread' you propose? How would i
'logoff'? 

The main point I am trying to be strict is that i want to be sure the 
first session (samba service check) is really closed on server side before 
i run the second service type (check) - having a seperate thread doing the 
logoff doesn't sound like the approach giving a guaranteed close confirmation
to me?
