Check Text ( C-39149r2_chk )
Check the encryption setting for the Samba configuration. Default locations for this file include /etc, /etc/sfw, /etc/samba, and /etc/sfw/samba. If the system has Samba installed in non-standard locations, also check the smb.conf in those locations.

Procedure:
# grep -i 'guest ok' /etc/smb.conf /etc/sfw/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/sfw/samba/smb.conf
If the setting exists and is set to yes, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-34294r2_fix)
Edit the smb.conf file and change the guest ok setting to no.
