Before you reconnect, run "smbstatus | grep <username>" on the server and double-check that the user really is staying connected. It's possible that Windows does cache the credentials, and only wipes that cache when you log out. If the client is staying connected, running "net use \\samba /del" should disconnect from the server, but I'm surprised that the connection wouldn't be in the "net use" list.
