[Samba] Lingering IPC$ connections

[Alfredo Ramos]

John, I'm so sorry! I'm using a new email client and that piece of crap
messed up my mail. I'm going after my email with my previous client and
I'm seeing your responses.

Again; I'm sorry, and thank you for your responses. I'll read them and
reply if I need to.

Again, Thanks.

Al.
