No, but what I do know is this, you should not use guest access on a
domain member, Windows turns it off by default. Also 'Guest' doesn't
exist on a Unix domain member, you would have to map it to the Unix
domain user 'nobody'

Neither do I, mostly because I don't understand what the OP is trying
to say ;-)
I will try to explain how it is supposed to work and why you should
only use it on a Unix domain member with one 'DOMAIN'
If you have 'winbind use default domain = yes' in smb.conf, winbind
will basically just strip off the leading 'DOMAIN\' from user and group
names. so the user 'DOMAIN\fred' will become 'fred'.
Okay so far ?
Now, if you have two domains in smb.conf 'DOMAINA' & 'DOMAINB' and
there is a user called 'fred' in both domains and you have 'winbind use
default domain = yes', you will end up with two users called 'fred'.
