The use of accounts reserved to other applications is generally not a good
idea.  UCX$NOBODY and TCPIP$NOBODY are reserved by DEC/COMPAQ/HP.

SAMBA_GUEST makes the account's purpose self documenting.  Processes using
this account are thus immediately known as SAMBA related processes.

This was only a suggestion and not a requirement.

It is the same logic for not creating logical assignments starting with
SYS$, etc.

Sincerely,

Why is that?
