There is nothing in the debian-edu docs about guest accounts (yet). However, debian-edu is based on the LTSP project, and there are some blogs/discussions about guest accounts here and there. For example: - http://www.m-opensolutions.com/ltsp-guest-accounts-and-mate-desktop-setup/ - https://dashohoxha.fs.al/ltsp-scenarios/#org3535561 - https://github.com/ltsp/ltsp/discussions/298 I have also used guest accounts in another similar context: - https://gitlab.com/docker-scripts/debian-desktop/-/blob/main/inject/setup-user-accounts.sh#L84 Maybe these can give some hints about how to develop your own solution. If you find a suitable solution, please let us know how you did it. Regards, Dashamir > 2. I would like to avoid that (kerberos?) dialog box that ofteh/always > asks for a password after login.
