[Samba] ntlm_auth (Samba build) stops responding.

[Michael Wray]

when using the samba 3.0.x (Any 3.0.x build) ntlm_auth helper program for 
authentication, it will authenticate for a week, and then stop responding. 
Does this mean that it uses a persistant connection that's never respawned?

It seems to me, it would be nice if it occassionally would disconnect and 
reconnect, as suddenly stopping responses causes production environments to 
fail.
