[SUSE] ncp mounts disconnect
Hello
On our SUSE systems, SLES 9.0 and SUSE 10.0, we use ncp mounts to our Novell-servers.
The ncp connections hold for about one hour before they will be disconnected by ...??
The ncp software we use is ncpfs-2.2.6-7
Both SLES 9.0 and SUSE 10.0 are patched at the latest versions.
The ncpmount manpage gives clues for busy Novell-servers and advice to increase the -t "timeout" and -r "retry" options. I've increased them to astronomical heights ans still the connections will be lost.
One thing is strange, my colleque has the same OS and he doesn't have this problem.
I'll show the things I've done;
# cat /etc/fstab
