[Samba] CIFS share disconnects on Linux client, but is still accessible via SMBCLIENT

[Gene Poole]

Thanks! It'll take me a little while to make the changes and try each 
one to try to isolate the problem. But in the meantime here are my share 
defs from smb.conf:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

[littlenas]
path = /mnt/littlenas
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes
create mask = 0777
#oplocks = False
#level2oplocks = False

[NASbkp]
path = /mnt/NASbkp
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes
create mask = 0777
#oplocks = False
#level2oplocks = False

[WINbkp]
path = /mnt/WINbkp
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes
create mask = 0777
-----------------------------------------------
