I take it you're making some sort of telephone connection from
home to work. Doesn't the SMB protocol use keepalive packets
to monitor logins? Trouble is, I can't remember whether and where
I saw that. Perhaps it can be configured to exceed the expected
uptime of an NT server. :)
I don't think inetd is an issue; that's just how the daemon starts
up, not whether it keeps running.
