The problem is when guest browsing is ok, but not all shares are visible
as guest. I am not sure if this is a samba-only feature, but here is a
guest browsing the default samba setup:
[bgmilne@bgmilne bgmilne]$ smbclient -L bgmilne
added interface ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.36 bcast=xxx.xxx.xxx.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Anonymous login successful

ADMIN$ Disk IPC Service (Samba Server 2.2.6pre2)

And here is an autheticated user broswing the same server:
[bgmilne@bgmilne bgmilne]$ smbclient -L bgmilne -U bgmilne
added interface ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.36 bcast=xxx.xxx.xxx.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

You will note the additional share available.
It may *only* be a problem against samba servers, but there are lots of
samba servers around.
