hi etharp,
i'm not worried about guests having their own permanent storage, i just want 
to give them internet facilities if they visit andi i was worried that 
creating a new user with the same privileges as my normal user might be too 
risky given that i installed as 'security=low', i guess the question could be 
rephrased as 'what can an ordinary user do to the system in a low security 
setting that s/he can't do in a high security setting?', then i would try to 
disable those things that weren't internet related for the new user only

bascule
