samba Q



Greetings all;

Can someone explain to me why I can 'mount -t smbfs' a share on a debian 
based box, also 2 other shares on a RH7.3 box, and I can 
'umount /mnt/sharename' on two shares located on the RH7.3 box, but to 
umount the debian based box I have to use the 
'smbumount /mnt/sharename' against the debian based box?

Otherwise its busy sometimes, or just silently fails to unmount other 
times.  In either event the only path opened to that debian-based box 
might be an ssh -X session, which should not effect a samba share.

Seems to me there ought to be a good, explainable reason for the 
difference in behaviour.
