A solution simular to marocos would be fine for my needs - may be with
some little modifications - if it is full usable by installing a single
package.
Proposed changes:
- Reset the home directory at logoff

[Intrepid] Guest account should be accessible from login screen
Hi!
I did this for have a guest false session with GDM Login:
1.- Create a count without privileges (example Guest). Then password =
guest :P Any easy.
2.- Configure this count (Guest).
3.- Add all files (included hidden) to a .tar file and save it (example
/etc/init.d/guest.tar)
4.- Create
I've tried an approach like this using the pam_listfile.so for
passwordless login. However, it fails for several reasons:
- There is no obvious way to log in as guest. Users that don't speak
English won't be able to guess that the special user name (and
password). I'd like a simple Login as Guest

I just wanted to also chirp in to agree with the need for this. Nobody
seems to be asking for a kiosk mode so I don't see that as a
reasonable answer. A guest account should be easy and convenient and
having to walk over to the home PC and login every time a friend wants
to use the PC is
I agree that an easy and accessible Guest account as an option for the login
menu is necessary.
It's a good thing to share your laptop and I even like to use the guest account
when I'm just doing non administrator and non personal stuff.
You have my vote on this one :-)

[Intrepid] Guest
We explicitly designed this to *not* be accessible anonymously.
If you want a kiosk mode, create a spare guest user yourself and
configure the login manager to automatically log it in after 30 seconds
or so.

Hi,
The guest session works by launching the flexiserver. I believe this can only
be launched by a logged in user, and that seems to be a design decision,
from the README.Debian:
Just call /usr/share/gdm/guest-session/guest-session-launch to start the
session; this only works if you already have
I would also really like to see this feature. With it, I could have a
computer sitting in a common area that anyone could come up to and use
as a guest. Right now, I'd have to leave that computer sitting with a
more-privileged user logged in, or be present for each person so I can
log in and
Please provide at least an option to enable guest login from GDM.

I agree. In high-school I work for we have user accounts shared between
computers using NFS/NIS. All students and most of the teachers have
individual accounts. Unfortunately there are also people without
accounts occasionally using the computers, so a guest account is a must.
Right now it's just
