[Uaflug] Apology

[Paul Swanson]

Well, there are some things I miss about XP, like... uh... wait. No. Nothing.

In an attempt to make this a learning experience, let me figure out
how to set up a guest account in KDE.

First, create a guest account. Go to System Settings | User Management
| Administrator Mode | New

enabled, name: guest, no password.

Now go to the K menu, click Switch User, and Lock Current & Start New
Session. The sessions will be in different virtual terminals
(Ctrl+alt+f7, etc).

A question of security; is a guest account with no password (or an
essentially worthless password like 'guest') a risk? If it doesn't
have root access, what could be exploited?
