Sure, I'll look at it (not right now though, I'm off to see "Grease" at the
theatre and I'm already late :-). There's a difference between "guest" and "anonymous". We
just need an extra flag so we know when a user presented no credentials
as compared with someone who did, even if they both end up as the same
UNIX "guest" uid.
