OK, I will fire up my tcpdump/tethereal ...

I guess it is.
I do not want to ban any users. I'd like to force people moving to
our new XP Pro computers.

Perhaps I could set it up in a way disallowing share access after a
logon - only joining the domain at system log in would be allowed.
Therefore no machines incapable of Samba domain logon would be
banned.
