It's builtin.  DOn't mess with it.  There's a reason
its not documented.  And you cannot remove it.  it
simply provides a guarantee that the guest account has
a valid account entry.

Setting 'passdb backend = smbpasswd' and adding no
entryies is the same thing as what you suggest.
It does not give you a guest server however.  For that
you need the 'map to guest' parameter.







cheers, jerry
