I guess I should have guessed that browsing announcements are sent on
UDP -- as is the case with, for example, netbios.

As for the Yast firewall module, I think I mentioned that it is broken
for opening services on the external device (and has been broken since
at least SLE 9), and I don't know if it is working properly for the
internal device.

Concerning the rest of your remarks, long ago I stopped questioning why
some people wish to do such strange things -- it is like trying to herd
cats, and they are just going to do what they want anyway :-)
