2009/164 Support for guest access to CIFS/SMB shares

I'm happy with the case as specified.

A few small things though: I think a mapping of guest to the Solaris 
nobody account would be a useful default configuration, it would then 
match what NFS does with unknown users - which is the closest NFS 
equivalent to CIFS guest access.

The property name of "guestok" feels clunky to me I'd have expected just 
"guest" but given NFS already has "aclok,nosub,nosuid" it seems to fit 
that model.
