Thanks for the response.

We are running Samba on our domain controller and we have a couple of 
Samba BDCs as well.  We were running Windows NT 4 for a while and 
migrated all the accounts to Samba recently.

I should have mentioned it on my first email.

I'm presuming this is a windows environment based on your reference to a 
PDC.  You'll want to go into the GUI User Manager /ADUC depending on 
your version of Windows, and look at the properties of the Guest 
account.  It sounds like it has some group memberships you want to 
remove.  These are typically listed on the "Member Of" tab.  The 
directions vary slightly for NT4 or older, and Win2k+ (and some folks 
still use PDC term with Win2k+, so not sure which you have....)

Hope that helps,

Hello,

We are getting Nessus ID: 10907 on our scan report to the PDC. The
heading is "Guest belongs to a group" with synopsis of "The Guest
account has excessive privileges".  It also say that the Guest account
belongs to a group on the description.

I want to remove the Guest account to any group it belongs but having
trouble on how to do so.  Can someone please point me to the right
direction?  The nobody account is disable, and that should disable the
Guest account as well if I am not mistaken.

Any help is appreciated.
