I would argue that, whether there was a control center option or not, the guest account logon should be off by default.
It only invites trouble. For me, trouble had the face of my children while I was at work. =) Please consider defaulting that setting to off. I do not mind so much the option, once I have logged in. (Though my children found that using the guest access while logged into their account, bypassed the proxy settings set in their Firefox profile.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886415 Title: No GUI for disabling guest account access Status in Light Display Manager: Triaged Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Given the tendancy to clone the MacUI, it would appear Ubuntu is missing an equivalent option to disable guest access. In OS X 10.7, you'll find it in a "Security and Privacy" control panel. I'm reporting this against LightDM as the file I had to edit to remove it was /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf by adding the line: allow-guest=false Not allowing the target audience (people who don't (want to) know how to use the linux command prompt) to turn off guest access doesn't feel right. As it's kind of treated as an account of sorts (albeit temporary), I'd suggest in Ubuntu that perhaps it should be added to the "User Accounts" control panel.
