reply to my own post:
a little bit of more research on the server side and reading cifs documentation let me point out the problem:
cifs.ko starts a thread (cifsd) for each connection to a server.
this thread is killed if a user gives a wrong password which means every mounted cifs-share is gone.
$ echo 1 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI #gives good information after doing what was described in my last post.
dmesg | grep kill
fs/cifs/connect.c: cifsd thread killed
so this means it is not related to samba but to the cifs module.
hope this helps anyone.
