I ran the free version of eEye's Nimda scanner and it came back with "Open
Guest Share" on all of my Servers, both WinNT 4.0 SP6a and Windows 2000.

Now, all of these machines are patched and none are actually infected. So
what is this "Opne Guest Share" then? How do I remedy it as a security
hole?
