The issue is that 'map to guest = bad user' isn't hooked in to the AD DC
code. There was a patch to implement it, based on the guest account (as
windows does), but I didn't review it positively and I need to find and
remember why I didn't like it.
So currently this is incompatible with being an AD DC.
