On my system the clients keep one spoolss pipe open. When the client 
opens a printer window and closes it afterwards, one connection remains 
(No Tree Disconnect AndX Request).
Except for the printer administrator. The printeradmin calls the 
disconnect-request and the daedtime functions (mostly).

In smbd/conn.c : conn_idle_all() the deadtime is ignored, if one or more 
files are still open.
Testing with older versions shows, that the behaviour hasn't changed. 
It's the same with samba 3.0.6.
But I could swear, I would have had problems with this earlier ...?

Anyone who does _not_ see this behaviour?
