And sometimes, just to be extra cheezy, Windows XP will remember all 
the shares that were mounted by previous users. So on a shared 
computer, by the end of the day you will see everyone's home 
directories "mapped", but with only your home directory being 
accessible.

The only way to get Windows XP to release all connections with the PDC 
seems to be the three finger salute. smbstatus will show that the 
machine keeps the connectin open long after a user logs off.
