-====== Guest Account Details ====== 
-The ACM workstations have guest accounts whose home directories are wiped at logoff. 
  
-Username: acmguest 
-Password: acmguest 
- 
-====== Guest Account Setup ====== 
-The guest account functionality relies on a package from the AUR (Archlinux Users Repository) called guestd. The actual rc script has been monified to obtain the desired functionality. The clean guest directory is located in /​opt/​acmguest-skel and the live home directory is /​opt/​acmguest. The guest directory is **NOT** on NFS. The guest account has to have access to run the guestd rc script as part of the loggout process. The loggout functionality is currently obtained with LXDM using the file /​etc/​lxdm/​PostLogout. 
- 
-This is the guestd rc script, a restart operation deletes the current live directory and replaces it with the skel one.
