where account_name is the name of the guest account, usually guest or nobody,
which is a preconfigured account in the /etc/passwd file.
If you are using UNIX-style authentication, set the guest account to the name of an
account in the UNIX password database, typically guest, which is mapped to the
UNIX account nobody with the same access rights as the user everyone.

If you are using Windows NT domain authentication, a generic user account is
mapped by default with the name pcuser. The generic user account enables users
who meet the criteria described in this section to connect to NTFS or mixed qtrees on
the filer. For information about qtrees, see Chapter 10, Qtree Administration, or
FilerView on-line help.
NOTE: For generic user accounts to be active, pcuser must be an account in the /etc/
passwd file.

To use the generic user account, a user must
be authenticated
be in a trusted domain
not have an entry in the UNIX password database
All users of the generic user account have the same UNIX rights and the Windows NT
rights granted by their Windows NT group membership because they appear as one
account to the system.
