Setting 'map to guest = Bad User' means that user logins with an invalid password are rejected, unless the username does not exist, in which case it is treated as a guest login and mapped into the guest account. The latter is set to nobody [0]. > I've tried same conf on the fedora machine, with the same version of samba > (4.16.5) and there is no "nobody" share on it. > > So I think this is OpenBSD specific. If I understand smb.conf(5) correctly this is the intended behaviour, which is not specific for OpenBSD. Googling your description seems to confirm this. I can not comment on the behaviour of fedora.
