If not specified within the browsing preferences, xfsamba will use
"smbclient -U Guest%" for browsing and "smbmount -o Guest%" for
mounting. The "%" indicates a password follows, and since nothing
follows, it is a null password. So I guess that your guest account is
enabled with a null password. 

Also, please note that if you use redhat-7.3, you must have xfsamba
version 0.47 (CVS version) in order for the password query box to
automatically pop up when requested, this is due to changes in
samba-2.2.3.
