Has the share (mount) been unused for over a week? (Windows cycles > host credentials once a week) It's been mounted for over a week, but used during this period. How come my Win2K can maintain a share window open for this amount of time but SAMBA can't? And if the credentials are incorrect, why can't I unmount? > 2. Has the user information under which the mount taken place changed? Now that you've mentioned it, I recently replaced my password (in Active Direcory). I will test it again, because I am pretty sure that I have had that happen even between password changes (our policy is 45 days). And then again: So the credentials don't match; so what? Why prevent me from unmounting it? Can I change the credentials in smbmount while the folder is mounted?
