Have you tried mounting using smbmount?

I mount a Windows server share as follows:
mount -t smbfs //server/share /n -o username=xxx,password=xxx,rw,lfs
mount executes smbmount when run "-t smbfs"
Just a comment on cifs... Seems to me that cifs has PMS, only works when it feels like it...
I haven't used cifs so can't comment.
I use this for samba mounts, works everytime,
mkdir /mount/point chown user:users /mount/point chmod 775 /mount/point
mount -t smbfs //windowsservername/share /mount/point
But did you know that you don't have to mount anymore? Open Konqueror and in the "Location" field type in "smb://windowsservername/share" should go directly or prompt for a password..
True, but if you prefer to have the remote share permanently available, it seems mounting it (automatically or manually) via smbmount is preferred. I'm not sure if connections opened the way you say are kept open if you close that window, but I doubt they are. Smbmount allows you to connect once, and forget about it.
