Hi there,
I don't know whether this is relevent to you or not, but I believe the SAMBA issue you've described should be able to be resolved using AutoFS. It'll take some configuring to start with, but once it's in place, it'll mount your SAMBA connections when you need them, not leave them persistently connected - and, if necessary, you can increase the "timeout" from a couple of seconds (which is the default) to a couple of hours if needs be - which means that effectively, every night, you reconnect to the server.
It's just a suggestion, but maybe it'll be useful to you?

Why not use AutoFS to resolve the SAMBA issues?
