[Samba] Question regarding guest account =

Hi, and thanks for a very quick answer!

A small followup:

I've seen the sideeffects :-(
Where would the user be stored? I'm using a ldap sam, btw.

And how can I set the users password if he/she is not created ?

Also, if the default guest account is set to nobody (without me using 
the parameter), and I have a user nobody in my sam. will samba use this 
user? Should I remove it?

>>c) Also, if I want a guest user that can log on to my domain without a

A bit many this there, you men the account I created, not the special 
guest user , right?
