Technically you should be able to set
'auth methods = guest sam_ignoredomain ntdomain'
but you didn't hear that from me.  There's a good reason
why we don't generally recommend tweaking the 'auth methods'
option.

Note that I will recommend 'security = {domain,ads}'
over 'security = server' anyday though.
