yes" + " map to guest = bad user"

Title:
When guest (nobody) account exists, smbpasswd should default to none
Status in “gnome-system-tools” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
After installing Samba, I expected to be able to simply browse my
Ubuntu computer from a WinXP machine. Usually in such a situation the
remote machine defaults to the "nobody" guest user, for which a
password is not expected.
However, after some time of not being able to get this to work, the
following commands resolved the situation:
# set nobody to no password
sudo smbpasswd -n nobody
# enable nobody user
sudo smbpasswd -e nobody
It seems to me that this should be the default situation, perhaps with no
default file shares that have "guest ok" enabled for security reasons.
However, once the user creates a file share, it should be expected to work
without having to manually run the smbpasswd command.
