It depends if they specify different negprot values.  The two are very
similar, and I doubt
that they do.

Read the manpage and the code in smbd/negprot.c.  See if you can pick a
difference in the
way it does the negprot.  If you can, then adding the code should be
simple, otherwise we have the simple problem that WinXP is simply Win2k
4.1.
