As far as I have observed, most recent Windows clients very rarely
send chained AndX requests.

However, there is one case where I know that Windows XP clients send
an AndX request: if the server does not support extended security
exchanges, the Windows client will send a chained SESSION_SETUP_ANDX
and TREE_CONNECT_ANDX request.

I think if you set "use spnego = no" in your samba's smb.conf, that
should probably disable its support for extended security exchanges.
