Thanks Adam -- I now how more information:
If run "\\samba" I get prompted for a login. After login smbstatus (on
the samba server) shows the connection and "net use" shows \\samba\IPC$.
Ok, then I run "net use \\samba /del" and the connection goes away both
on net use and smbstatus. If I connect to the samba server, I have to
relogin. Great.
Now I run "\\samba" and login. Then I map \\samba\data to z:. Then I do
"net use" I see \\samba\IPC$ and \\samba\data. If I run "net use \\samba
/del" I lose the \\samba\IPC$ connection, but z: remains. If I run "net
use z: \del" I get rid of that connection -- "net use" shows no
connections. However, smbstatus still shows a connection and when I
connect to the server, I am logged in as the previous user. So it seems
to show that "net use" isn't able to always disconnect all the
connections and the problem *may* lie with mapping shares to drives,
although I believe I've gotten windows into a similar state without
mapping drives, just by browsing and reconnecting to "\\samba" multiple
times.
Any more ideas on how to fully disconnect / logout from XP?
Thanks,
Ben

If, however, I connect to the samba server (file run "\\server") it
doesn't not prompt for a username / password but connects as the user
from the original login. Windows is not saving the password -- if I
logout from XP and log back it, I'm asked for a username/password
again. Somehow the XP client is staying connected to the samba server.
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.
Cheers,
Adam.
