Fine.  I tested the configuration that follows.  It is the default 
configuration plus two settings, map to guest and guest ok on the

There's not nearly enough of this.  Remember that you are asking for 
help from people who have no obligation to help you.  Please behave like 
an adult and avoid abusive tone when addressing people who have done you 
no wrong.
