The server is low on memory (384 MB). Normally the deadtime parameter in smb.conf will allow the smbd daemon for that connection to die. This echo request keeps the smbd alive. Each active connection requires between 400K and 3 MB depending on the level of activity. Can't add more memory in the MB, larger swap doesn't solve the problem either. We will go to another MB with 2 GB of RAM, but not for a while.
