Yes, or also use the unixsam backend

Because the Guest account is a 'well known' account, and as such should
have a fixed RID.  This is enforced via the passdb backend because to do
otherwise would have nasty consequences when mapping back and forth
between uids and RIDs.  (We are working hard to ensure that there is
only one point at which uids and RIDs are mapped, and currently this is
in the passdb.)
