Now wait a second! This is a strange one! As admin on that XP WS I used
gpedit to make "Computer Configuration\bla bla\User Profiles\Only allow
local user profiles - Enable"! Why does it still use Profiles?

... Anyway the profiles connection dissapears after a while but the IPC$ one
no!

Probably this is it:

[root at in tmp]# smbstatus

Samba version 2.2.8
Service      uid      gid      pid     machine
