I use both WINS and DNS, both are updated correctly and give the same result (my WINS
server is 10.0.0.32):

It's been mounted for over a week, but used during this period. How come my Win2K can
maintain a share window open for this amount of time but SAMBA can't? And if the
credentials are incorrect, why can't I unmount?
> 2. Has the user information under which the mount taken place changed?
Now that you've mentioned it, I recently replaced my password (in Active Direcory). I
will test it again, because I am pretty sure that I have had that happen even between
password changes (our policy is 45 days).
And then again: So the credentials don't match; so what? Why prevent me from
unmounting it? Can I change the credentials in smbmount while the folder is mounted?
Thanks for the info and for your help.
