(Get the code!)
I can't reproduce this. If I already have a guest user, the setup script rightfully fails:
$ sudo sh -ex /usr/share/
+ USER=guest
+ PWSTAT=guest P 11/28/2008 0 99999 7 -1
+ echo+ cut -f2 -d
guest P 11/28/2008 0 99999 7 -1
+ [ P != L ]
+ echo User account guest already exists and is not locked
User account guest already exists and is not locked
+ exit 1
If I start a guest session, X flickers for a while, and then returns back to my normal user account, with the screen locked and gnome-screensaver asking me for my password.
Nick, if you manually create a "guest" user again, do you get the behaviour above (which is intended), or does your computer freeze completely? Does ctrl+alt+f1 (try several times) still work and bring you to a text console?
