	Ok, you've tested about half of the browsing
	mechanism, a more complete set of tesing steps
	is available at
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch09_02.html
	and in your doc/htmldocs/using_samba directory.

	Browsing is the last part of the section,
	because
	- it's **wierd**
	- it depends on much of the preceding material.

	It only takes about 10 minutes to do the whole test
	sequence, so I generally start from the beginning
	even when I'm sure I know what's wrong, as my
	initial guess is often wrong (and I wrote the
	section!)
