On one of my work boxes I have one of the following (I can't remember 
which and I'm not there):

map to guest = bad user
or
map to guest = bad password


This will make Samba access things as guest if they are not sending 
correct username/password. Remember that this will mean all users not 
already logged in will access shares as guest if guest is allowed in 
those shares. I specifically deny guest access to most shares on my work 
server to be sure I am preventing this. The few that need guest access 
deny write access to guest.
