Severity: minor
Hi,
It appears that when one switches from 'smbfs' to 'cifs', you can no longer
mount shares as guest just with the 'guest' option, you have to add in
'sec=none' (or make other arrangements). It's confusing to have to specify
another option for something that should work out of the box.
The manual page (which is now common to both mount.cifs and mount.smbfs) is
quite Pythian when describing the guest option:
guest
don't prompt for a password
That doesn't preclude requiring a username, or a no-security level, because
it doesn't specify the meaning of "guest"...
This is really an excerpt from:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=416515#25
https://bugs.launchpad.net/samba/+bug/98658
that I just happened to bump into myself.
Please fix it. TIA.

With mount.cifs from 3.4.2:
r...@mykerinos:/etc/pm/sleep.d# smbclient -L //127.0.0.1 -N
Anonymous login successful

r...@mykerinos:/etc/pm/sleep.d# mount -t cifs -o guest //127.0.0.1/public /mnt
r...@mykerinos:/etc/pm/sleep.d#
So, it appears as having been fixed somewhere between 3.2.5 and 3.4.2.
