admin shares and security

Hi.

I used to think that admin shares shouldn't be a threat if the administrator
password is secure. But, is there a way to audit or log tries to connect to
these shares? I have restricted guessing of passwords to five, but this
doesn't apply to connecting to shares. Doesn't this mean, that anyone can
use their spare time guessing the password (and account name) without a
trace?

What W2k3 functionality depends on admin shares, if any?
