Does this happen with newer versions of OS X? Is it possible to update the client systems to a newer version of OS X? 10.4 is not quite ten years old, so its kind of long in the tooth. It hasn’t got a security update since 2009. (If you’re running on a powerpc mac, 10.5 should be an option, but I have no idea how you’d go about getting it. Notably 10.7 is the oldest MacOS release that still has support from Apple.)

I have a situation with windows clients, a primary domain controller, an illumos based zfs storage with cifs sharing joined on the domain. Everything works fine, for months. Then there are some OSX clients, opening the cifs shares via smb urls on the finder. The more recent OSX clients can open these urls and work, but sometimes they experience some kind of "reset" while going down deep the folders tree, and finder goes back to the root of the share. One particular client, stopped mapping these urls few days ago, forever trying to connect without luck, causing mount_smbfs timeouts. This is the only OSX 10.4. Though, connection with smbclient works. I found a lot of documentations about problems of OSX 10.4, mounting smb, usually resolved changing mechs on the smb server, or keychain on the client, or nmbd not running on the server or what. I also found someone talking about a Solaris 10 server where they had to change some parameter keepalive=255, solving osx connection problems. But this is a CIFS/ZFS server, not just a samba server. After trying everything on the client, I gave up, taking my time to think what I can do on the server. Anyone has suggestions?
