Error description
The hls_removeguest stanza in aixpertall.xml and viosecure.xml remove the guest user but doesn't remove guest entry in /etc/security/passwd. The hls_pwdck rule ran next will fail because of this : + eval /usr/bin/usrck -y ALL; /usr/bin/usrck -n ALL + /usr/bin/usrck -y ALL 3001-642 The user name guest appears in /etc/security/ passwd but not in /etc/passwd.
Local fix
Run aixpert -l high twice (second run will remove guest from /etc/security/passwd by running command pwdck -y ALL)
