We've seen this problem too, although it only happens once a month or so for us. Samba 2.2.8 is *extremely* old, and I don't think that it was ever officially ported to OpenVMS, so I'm afraid it's pretty unlikely that we'll find a fix. HP is working on an official port of Samba 3.x (see http://h71000.www7.hp.com/network/CIFS_for_Samba.html). Although it's still in testing, it could easily be more reliable than Samba 2.2.8. I've been meaning to test it for our office but haven't yet had time (or a spare Alpha to test it on). Also, you may not need to run NMBD at all. For example, if you're able to instead of a modern version of nmbd on a Linux or Unix box, I think that Samba on the Alpha will work even without NMBD. I could be wrong, however.
