Gordon, is it not correct that any share is only reachable in combination 
with the logon server/netbios name:  \\server\share

Just because a share exists you can't automatically connect to it without 
providing all the above information.  Matching share names on a network 
should never cause a problem as the server name will (ok should) never be 
the same.  There are many cases where multiple PDC servers (separate 
domains) and workgroup servers are active on the same LAN.  Large school 
campuses, large corporate clients, etcetera.

IMHO if something nasty is happening it is because the client is 
incorrectly configured.

The current samba setting has all these shares visable.  We have all been 
testing the current set up and I have not heard any negative reports.  To 
leave these shares as they are currently provides options that I have 
discussed previously.  To remove these shares takes away these options.

So, to conclude, I continue to disagree with your desire to remove what 
we currently have available.
