Well remeber all...XP Prop and XP home are teh same OS. And w2k3 and XP sp2 are the same OS . Changes are made through the registry. Thus XP pro features that home "doesn't have" are disabled in the registry. Don't know how that would affect the actual stack. Something to think about.

Oh yeah, and M$ is using the FreeBSD protocol stack anyway...only all users have root level access to it.

There are some very advanced networking stacks which allow you to specify

I don't know if XP Home and XP Pro have different enough fingerprints to
allow a reliable discrimination between them.



That's an interesting way to go and I think it *would* work but my original question was if it is possible for *samba* to distinguish OS releases and allow/disallow computers then. Or rather I'm sure it is possible to distuingish them but I just don't know if such config was ever implemented.

Some SMB conversation option tweaking advise would be highly
appreciated.

Cheers,
