In fact windows identifies windows 2000 and XP computers on a domain not
only by name but also by SID. On cloned computers this is a problem! I newer checked for a solution since I don't have
the need for a domain
but here one result of a google search:

There is also some "sysprep" utility to use on the "master"
before cloning an MS Windows machine, which allows to remove
such specifics - no idea though how this gets (re)set after
cloning - I guess it's a case for RTFM'ing ;-)

Thanks for your suggestions. What finally helped were the following
two steps:
1. We checked "My Network Places" and it contained shortcuts to one (or more)
shares that were previously mounted. We deleted these
2. We put "map to guest = Never" into smb.conf (instead of "map to guest =
Bad
user")
After both changes, everything worked fine. Apparently, XP is very
liberal in what it considers a "connection". For instance, it includes
items such as shortcuts in "My Network Places", and possibly even
network printer definitions.
Probably change #2 worked because one of these hidden "connections"
was made using an non-existant username (which samba mapped to guest
before our change to smb.conf).
At the beginning of the LLL project we did use Newsid, but apparently
this is mostly needed for a workgroup configuration (rather than
domain), or at least it was at the time.
