We've noticed this behaviour when Win95 crashes and the next person tries
to logon (we are using roving profiles, samba 1.9.18p10):

- user logs in to win95

- user crashes client

- boot client

- user tries to logon, but it takes *forever* and eventually returns
a "the domain password you suppiled is not correct, or access to your
logon server has been denied" error

- user tries to logon, but it takes *forever* and eventually returns
a the domain password you suppiled is not correct, or access to your 
logon server has been denied" error (for a second time)

- user tries to logon and is succesful

- on the server, the smbd process related to the first logon is *still*
running

This problem is reproduceable.

I have set the deadtime parameter to 5 minutes, but I don't think it's
really taking affect because the client is still using the shares...

Anyone have a suggestion here?
