In my opinion, the easiest way to do this is to set up ssh or OpenSSH for
your remote shells and put the DenyUsers directive in the sshd conf
file. Using this you can deny you guest user account access to sshd,
thereby eliminating remote access for that user, without affecting console
access.
Of course this assumes that once you set up ssh, you disable telnet (you
should).
Hope this helps,
