Reading this again I realise that I wrote a bit confusedly here.  What
I meant is: if 'root' is an unknown user, the file access needs to be
mapped to something that means "some unknown user", which someone
proposed to be 'nobody'.

If the *same* unknown user is used for guest logons, it would
definitely be a Bad Thing.  This would be a mere configuration error,
but is worth mentioning lest someone make it.  To clarify: the smb.conf
'guest user' should never be the same as the Unix side of the
"wildcard" entry in the 'username map' file (or the equivalent via SURS
or some other SAM backend implementation).
