 A comparitive capture of what Win2k does could be useful here.

Actually, 172.16.0.254 in that capture is the Win2k SP3 box.

 Just a clarification: You can do IPC operations on disk shares, and some
 domain clients use ADMIN$ for the IPC part of the domain join.  As Samba
 doesn't want to provide a 'disk' share that admins can't control, it
 maps it as an IPC share.

If I taught samba how to deal with a ADMIN$ share which defined a
path = XXX while at the same time keeping the IPC functionality, would
that violate any assumptions other code has?  You make it sound like
it might be a security risk too...

[Samba] \System32\GroupPolicy named pipe?

Poking around in the samba source code, it looks like ADMIN$ is
aliased to IPC$, but the System32 named pipe isn't created anywhere.
Does anyone have any thoughts on implementing this and whatever
associated protocol is necessary to modify server-side group policies
over it?
