[wpkg-users] Lots of open connections on Samba server for WPKG user

[Paul McGrath]

Thanks to Rainer for fixing my problem.

I did not have a 'deadtime' in my smb.conf.

I have set deadtime = 15 and now all the idle testuser accounts are
disconnected after 15 mins.  Connections have peaked at 55 so far this
morning but are at a more realistic 20ish now.

Much appreciated.
Paul
