I too have seen something similar since I updated my kernel from 2.4.7
to 2.4.9-ac10 (at least, I've only noticed it since I changed my
kernel). smbclient also seems to be misbehaving.

I haven't spent any real time debugging this, as samba still works the
other way (my token windoze games machine can still access my samba
shares on my linux box).

Anyone got smbfs working on a recent kernel?

cheers,
