PXE server: fix WinPE re-image SMB connection loss
WinPE clients re-imaging the same machine hit "System error 53 - network path not found" on the second attempt. systemctl restart smbd did not help; only a full server power cycle cleared the state. Root cause is kernel nf_conntrack: the default TCP ESTABLISHED timeout is 5 days (432000s), so a session from the first WinPE run whose client rebooted abnormally leaves an ASSURED ESTABLISHED entry that ufw's state-tracking rules then mis-classify the new SYN against. Fix applied in three layers: - /etc/sysctl.d/99-pxe-conntrack.conf drops TCP ESTABLISHED timeout to 1 hour and shortens the half-closed states to 30s each. - smb.conf gains socket options TCP_NODELAY SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY plus keepalive = 30 and deadtime = 5. Active sessions refresh the conntrack timer every 30s via keepalives so they never age out; dead ones expire in an hour. - /usr/local/sbin/smb-diag.sh snapshots kernel + Samba state for remote diagnosis; /usr/local/sbin/smb-soft-reset.sh walks a progressive recovery (nmbd/smbd restart, conntrack flush, arp flush, ss -K) as an alternative to power-cycling. conntrack package added to download-packages.sh and playbook verify list so the offline .deb bundle ships with it.
