stonki is the client and you use smbmount to access the samba server 
linux? And then?

> Apr 24 17:03:16 stonki su: pam_unix2: session started for user root, 

Looks like stonki is still running an feeling happy (more or less). 
And "linux"? still running? can samba be accessed form a PC? What 
gives smblicent -L ..... , smbstatus on linux?

Any way?
It looks like a kernel problem on stonki. Look if Suse overs a 
update. Or downgrade to an older version. Or build you on kernel.
