<PRE>2012/2/20 John Balcaen <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">mikala at mageia.org</A>>:

</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> I agree that you don't want a package. But no problem with a checkbox
</I>>><i> somewhere which does the right thing (configuring, etc). I think the
</I>>><i> "System Settings" in GNOME allows you to easily setup a new account, so
</I>>><i> IMO, functionality is not needed..
</I>><i> In fact xguest is (well was) more thant a simply new account and has
</I>><i> (had) at least 2 nice functionnalities:
</I>><i> - the shell is restricted
</I>><i> - the user home was on tmpfs clean on every log out of xguest user.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> The last functionnality was especially useful for debugging purpose
</I>><i> because it was easy to test the « default mageia» setup.
</I>><i> Somehow this functionnality was broken during the mga2 developement so
</I>><i> now xguest account is just a restricted shell.
</I>
Oh! I did not notice that (did not use it lately). This temporary user
home was the top reason for having xguest at all! If this
functionality is gone I don't see any reason for xguest.
