To clarify this a little.  'restrict anonymous' in 2.2 behaves exactly
as per the manpage.  This isn't what most people expect, and has all the
side-effects described in the manpage.  

In Samba 3.0, we have implemented 'restrict anonymous' in terms of the
MS registry key of the same name.  The new behavior increases system
security by restricting anonymous access to information.  

This is what people expect that setting to do, and should help to reduce
some confusion.  (This is also why I called the 2.2 code broken - it
sounds like a security setting, but in 2.2 it doesn't provide a security
benefit)

Unfortunately the documentation there hasn't caught up, but I'll at
least remove the erroneous part when I commit support for 'restrict
anonymous = 2' shortly.  (Getting all this fixed is one of the big
things we need to audit before 3.0 goes gold).
