	Sure: use smbclient to see if this problem is
	with Windows clients or with the Samba server.

	If it occurs with smbclient too, it's on the server.

	If so, turn logging up to 10 and look for errors:
	you may want to offer a log for download. Similarly,
	you might need to do a packt capyure when you're
	reproducing the problem.

	If the problem is on the client, a packet capture
	would be good, with timestamps so we can see if something
	is taking way too long: pc clients, windows explorer and
	huge unix directories can be so slow as to cause timeouts
	on the PC end...

  Ok, the server is returning all of public_html, G15_PSOs and
w17_test_status.pdf... this sounds like a client-side problem.

  I wonder what would make a client or explrre ignore files
out of the midddle of the following list:


[2002/07/31 10:52:07, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(1143)
  is_in_path: cron.tab
[2002/07/31 10:52:07, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(1148)
  is_in_path: no name list.
[2002/07/31 10:52:07, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(1143)
  is_in_path: PMO_Test_Reports_Template.xls
[2002/07/31 10:52:07, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(1148)
  is_in_path: no name list.
[2002/07/31 10:52:07, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(1143)
  is_in_path: w17_test_status.pdf
[2002/07/31 10:52:07, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(1148)
  is_in_path: no name list.

Team, I note that every other is_in_path is not being
passed a name list... is this an issue, or something
MS-ish?
