-====== Guest Account Setup ====== 
-**The guest account now works using a custom package in a custom repo hosted on mozart, page needs updating** 
  
-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.+//Password:// acmguest
  
-This is the guestd rc script, a restart operation deletes the current live directory and replaces it with the skel one. +====== Guest Account Setup ======
