<description>
<para>This is a username which will be used for access
to services which are specified as <smbconfoption name="guest ok"/> (see below). Whatever privileges this
user has will be available to any client connecting to the guest service.
This user must exist in the password file, but does not require
a valid login. The user account &quot;ftp&quot; is often a good choice
for this parameter.
</para>
<para>On some systems the default guest account &quot;nobody&quot; may not
be able to print. Use another account in this case. You should test
this by trying to log in as your guest user (perhaps by using the
<command moreinfo="none">su -</command> command) and trying to print using the
system print command such as <command moreinfo="none">lpr(1)</command> or <command moreinfo="none">
lp(1)</command>.</para>
<para>This parameter does not accept % macros, because
many parts of the system require this value to be
constant for correct operation.</para>
