The sonicwall log (on the device) gets every single one, every 5
minutes (12 minutes for port 138).  The sonicwall email alerter only
sends an email every 15 minutes, and only for port 137.  So those are
both oddities.

Yeah, I had to revert from security = ADS to security = DOMAIN, as
with ADS, some machines could map, and others couldn't - though their
network config was identical.  I've seen similar problems reported
with the PDC as win2K3 (like ours), and even though kerberos worked
fine, samba didn't.
