Secure has different definitions in *nix and MS Windows.

For instance, Microsoft does not consider local exploits to be
real security flaws.  Google for "shatter attack".

Also, if you find a way to turn off the administrative SMB/CIFS share(s)
under XP without disabling SMB/CIFS all together, please let me know.
It was possible under Win2k, but now the administrative share(s) are better
hidden and (as far as I can tell) not easily disabled without disabling
all of the MS SMB/CIFS client functionality along with the SMB/CIFS
server fuctionality.
