	Following up on your latter comment, some caching
	of the inodes and directory entries should be (and
	is) done by the operating system.  However, if it
	is both
		an expensive operation for the server OS
	and
		a much-repeated operation by the client OS
	then we can make an arguement for caching the **right**
	thing in Samba.
