Comment 12 for bug 264835

In reply to Martin Pitt's comment #5.

Could it be possible to separate the policy (no anonymous access) from the mechanism (well-implemented guest accounts)? A configurable option, disabled by default, would be a nice compromise.

The need for this feature is real. The scenario in comment #6 happens in my office at least once a month. Anonymous access is not a problem here: to use the guest account somebody must have got access to my office where my desktop computer physically resides. They could easily plug into the network sockets or remove the hard disk.

It is not a security-minded thing to suggest users to develop and deploy their own solutions based on forum posts.
