While 'hacks' might be possible, shares are authenticated seperatly to the
domain logon, and there is no linkage apart from the fact that the domain
logon sets up the default username/pw pair.
Fundementally, any restriction imposed by logon script/.pol files can be
avoided - you must never trust the client to actually follow their directions...
