In theory Windows smb shares should work fine, as long as your SID has permissions on the share. Given that we can identify samba shares for some time (and given that upcoming Samba shares will have a unique identification mechanism (see http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2008-January/057423.html) which makes live even more easy) we could let smbntsec only affect Samba shares instead of all remote shares. But that requires some volunteer testing of smbntsec with Windows remote shares and some definitive positive feedback on this list.
