I'm running Samba 3.0.0-15 (default install) on a Fedora FC1 machine. I've attached the smb.conf file below. The Samba server is acting as a WINS server on our testlab network, but is not a PDC, nor is it joined into a domain. Users authenticate by using a username/password that is local to the Samba server.

The problem I'm seeing is that when a user has been connected to the Samba server and then logs out of their Windows machine, the connections sometimes persist. As an example:

1. User logs in to a WinXP or Win2K3 machine using a domain account (the domain PDC is another Windows machine, not the Samba machine).

2. Once in Windows, a connection to the Samba machine is opened via the Run menu (\\server\share). The connections ('IPC$' and 'sharename' can be seen via smbstatus and 'net use').

3. User logs out of the Windows machine without explicitly disconnecting from the Samba server.

4. Connections on the Samba server can sill be seen with smbstatus.

4. User logs in to the same Windows machine, this time with a local machine account (such as localMachine\Administrator).

5. User tries to connect to the Samba server using the Run menu, and gets an error saying that the password is invalid. Checking with 'net use' shows that a connection to the Samba server already exists.

6. Deleting the connection ('net use \\server\share /delete') sometimes restores functionality, but not consistently.

Any ideas? Thanks.
