Not very doable, since the ability to log on to the domain, as well as the
ability to connect to the server resources are the same process.

For starters though, make sure you have nothing shared, including hidden
shares. Disable any services you don't want running. Also, block any ports
not used by the login process, nor by the replication process. I don't know
them all of the top of my head, but IIRC you need TCP/UDP 137, 138 and 139
at a minimum. If it is W2K, there are some AD based ports that need to be
opened... 519, or something like that. Open additional ports as services
require.

I have to say though, I think the implementation will be more trouble than
it is worth. It might be time to reevaluate the business plan and goals. 

IOW, do so at your own risk :)

Ok,

Let's say I am deploying a PDC, and I want to allow users to log on to the 
domain, but that is about it..
