And as Manfred Spraul wrote in another email, smbd and nmbd has nothing to
do with client-side smbmount+smbfs. Try unmounting and then mounting
again. Try upgrading samba. Try telling us what versions you are running

Running it as a module shouldn't make any difference.

And when posting to that list, do say which samba version you have.
smbmount that mounts (and is supposed to re-mount if the server has
dropped the connection, this is most likely what isn't working) the smbfs
comes from the samba package.
