[Bug 206924] Re: Make it possible to create a guest account

[Bryce Harrington]

We have no plans to do development work on xdm, so I am going to WONTFIX
the xdm task.  It's not a bad idea though, but I would suggest
approaching upstream about it if you really want it.  I suspect it was
added to xdm as just a blanket "all dm's should support guest accounts",
however xdm is designed to be pretty minimal and more of a working
example rather than intended to be a full fledged manager.

** Changed in: xdm (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Make a guest account that people can login to, and check their mail,
  surf web, etc.

  Every time the guest account logs out, its purged so the next user who
  login is a clean fresh account.

  This would be great in public terminals, libraries, hotels, lobbys,
  etc.
