Guest accounts???

Yes, security = share only fixed it for the 1.2.2 server, sort
of.  But it broke the NIS homedir ability.  I could no longer
access my Unix home directory.

For the other one, which I downgraded to the 1.9.18 server
it didn't change anything.  I still can't access the
server level or the guest shares.

So now neither version works properly.  Yikes!!

PS -- I'm pretty sure we always had it set to share = user.
