Jerry,

Sorry. I'm confused here.

Don't mess with it. In what context?
Don't remove it. From where? And under what circumstances?

Are you referring only to the smb.conf for "guest servers"?

What about distros that ship a default config with: "passdb backend = 
tdbsam guest"? If you're not building a guest server is this value 
useful?
What about distros that ship a default config without the value 
"guest" ("passdb backend = tdbsam").
Is one broken? 

If it's a valid value in any scenario then what exactly is the reason it 
is not documented? How else would we know if it is a valid value and 
then when and when not to use it?
