Right, gotta stick with 1 then. Thanks for clearing it up.

Makes sense... Still, the manpage (both in 3.0.14a-Debian and 3.0.20b)
states the opposite. Let me dig up appropriate quotes:
 - in "guest ok" entry, line 1732: "this setting nullifies the benefits
of setting restrict anonymous = 2"
 - in "restrict anonymous" entry, line 3963: "the security advantage of
using restrict anonymous = 2 is removed by setting guest ok = yes on
any share"

Cheers,
