[Bug 490380] Re: Please remove the "accept guests" option from the GUI since it creates confusion for new users

[Thierry Carrez]

Well, they can write to the directory. The thing they cannot do is write
to the file that was created through the share (though they can do that
by accessing the share locally through SMB !).

I don't think that's confusing, it's a decent default security trade-off, and is easily toggled off.
The "accept guests" is mostly there to allow read-only shares accessible to guests, so it shouldn't be removed.

** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix
