Guest Account and Browsing

I have just upgraded my Samba server from 2.0.4b to 2.2.2 on a Sun E450
running Solaris 2.6.
When the guest account value is set to nobody the browsing does not work. I
cannot see any thing under
the Network Neighbourhood.
When the guest account is set to root browsing works ok.
Could someone tell me exactly what permissions the guest account needs to
have?
What files does it need access to?
What Unix groups should the guest user be a member of?
I have looked at browsing.txt and browsing-config.txt but they only say
"Some people find browsing fails because they don't have the global
'guest account' set to a valid account".
Any help would be much appreciated as I don't want to leave the guest
account as root.
Thanks
