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" button. - The passwordless login used by gdm seems to be ignored by gnome- screensaver. If the screensaver kicks in or is started by the user, there is no way to unlock it. - The users files are deleted on logout. Thats nice from a security and privacy point of view, but the user is not warned that her files will be lost. There has been some discussion about the option to turn a guest session into a regular account. But as far as I know, nothing like that has been implemented. -- [Intrepid] "Guest" account should be accessible from login screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264835 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
