Before you reconnect, run "smbstatus | grep <username>" on the server
and double-check that the user really is staying connected.  It's
possible that Windows does cache the credentials, and only wipes that
cache when you log out.

If the client is staying connected, running "net use \\samba /del"
should disconnect from the server, but I'm surprised that the connection
wouldn't be in the "net use" list.

Cheers,
Adam.
