I suspect that "guest" will simply allow someone to log on as a guest
with whatever privileges (usually none) you give to guests.

The "guest" backend is builtin and should not be specified
in smb.conf.

We also removed the support foir multiple passdb backends in latest
versions of samba IIRC, so passdb backend should never list more than 1
backend.

Does this means it's not possible anymore to have most users coming
from an LDAP server, and to have additional "local" users (because
they can't be added to the LDAP server which is managed by other
people, for example) ?

If this is not possible anymore this sucks.
