Dear Experts,

I have my Mandrake 6.0-2 machine smbmounting drives from my Win98 PC. It
seems that I always get errors after cron has run, and I'm not sure if its
a samba problem, or a cron problem. Here is they scenario:

I 'smbmount \\mypc\pcdirectory /home/userinquestion/pcdirectory'

mounts fine, no problems whatsoever, infact I mount two of my pc
directories this way. After cron runs, sometimes one, sometimes two of them
mysteriously stop working. I all I get is Input/Output error if I try to
view the directory as the user or as root. 

The cron emails to root say the same thing. Sometimes they say 'Too many
files open' and list the files that are open at the time.

I can't smbumount the directories, neither can I remount them, they only
thing I have found to do is to reboot and remount them. There has to be a
better way!!!

Also, what are the commands to make my mounted PC directories writeable,
not just read-only, I heard somewhere it can be done, but have found
nothing on it.

below is the current /var/log/samba/log.smb. Maybe it can be of some use. 

TIA for your time and expertise

Geoff
