Public bug reported:
The /usr/sbin/giest-account script contains a bug which prevents the
removal of guest accounts:
$ sudo /usr/sbin/guest-account remove guest-Hhiook
/usr/sbin/guest-account: line 129: UID: readonly variable
Maybe this is related to /bin/sh actually beeing a Bash:
$ ll -d /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jan 1 01:44 /bin/sh -> bash*
But since using Bash as default sh is still a "feature" of Ubuntu, all
scripts should work with both.
Running the script with dash actually works:
$ sudo dash /usr/sbin/guest-account remove guest-ZWCtva
umount: /tmp/guest-ZWCtva: mountpoint not found
umount: /tmp/guest-ZWCtva: mountpoint not found
Removing user `guest-ZWCtva' ...
Warning: group `guest-ZWCtva' has no more members.
Done.
