[Samba] "map to guest = bad user" ignored in Samba 4?

Hi Ricky,

Thanks for the reply. I have tried changing the permissions on the 
netlogon share and the strange thing is that none of the changes I do in 
the Security/ACL tab from the Windows XP machine which is joined to the 
domain (but on the netlogon share which is on the server) actually 
stick. I can access the shares fine with that machine, but if I change 
the permissions, it seems to just ignore the changes - no error message. 
I am logged in as the domain Administrator - so it seems like a bit of a 
mystery. Then again - maybe I've done something silly when I've setup 
this Samba AD DC - although I've followed all the instructions on the 
Samba wiki and everything else seems to be working fine.
