Samba can link to a Win NT/2k user base. Maybe you can get some linkup between those two to identify and authenticate users, then account for their packets.

Users of Internet Explorer, which suffers from the same problem but which does not yet have a fix available, are also encouraged to switch to KDE 3.0.3. http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-3.0.3.html
