"guest" is only for "mount.cifs" and not "mount"! And as it says it's
ignored by mount anyway.

But for the sake of completeness I tried

~ # mount.cifs //10.0.2.10/test1 /mnt/intern -o user="Steven Scholz",guest

	and

~ # mount.cifs //10.0.2.10/test1 /mnt/intern -o user="Steven Scholz"
Password: <ENTER>

Does not work.
