Do you mean you want to know how to not be able to log-in as guest, or how to change users, or something else?
No, I don't want to disable an account, that I created. What I am talking about is the following: - in the Gnome session there is a menu to shutdown/log out, etc... or switch to another user.
There is also an item "Guest" that switches to the session with minimal priviledges and no password. I checked the /etc/passwd, it seems that it stands for the account with name guest, that has UID of 112, and does not show in the System Administration GUI.
Should I just comment out this line in the /etc/passwd, or is there a "nicer" way to get rid of it?
Thanks,
Do you want to retain user switching at all? If not you can turn it off in the GNOME configuration under the /desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_user_switching key.
Edit: I just found the key you want: /apps/fast-user-switch-applet/show_guest_login

NO, I love user switching. I don't like switching with no password promt.
Btw - I did disable account named guest with passwd -l, and verified that there is '*' in the second field.
Restarted the system - but that option for password-less Guest session is still there...
