Windows will always try to authenticate as the user you are logged in as on
that machine, however if this authentication fails (the username is invalid
or the password is invalid) Samba will default to the guest account if it
exists, is enabled (guest ok = yes on the share that is being talked about)
and has unix rights to the directory which is set by the path= directive.
