Re: how remove the guest acount ? [SOLVED]
HI, i want remove the guest acount.
why? , is easy ... when i try use modules and this modules contins files on root directory , the module no work on guest acount.
only in root acount can use modules whit root directory files , for example , kde *rc files.
for me guest acount is not good..need all time boot whit text mode to use extra modules.
i want remove guest acount ...not good for me ...i try only root acount in system,.
--------------------------------------------------
y try delete guest acount on passw , group and users files ,,and of course ...home guest directory , but the system every time want guest acount.
for me , at the moment the only solution are in files passw , group and users ,configure the guest acount whit same configuration of root acount.
its possible remove totally the guest acount ??

Re: how remove the guest acount ?
Moved to "Newbie Questions" as the "Development" section is for feature requests and discussion regarding upcoming releases.
usernew,
Have you tried booting with the 'toroot' cheatcode? this will log you right into KDE or LXDE as the root user, totally bypassing the guest account.
From there, you can remove the remaining traces of the guest account if you wish with the steps you described above.
If this doesn't result in the behavior you desire, just let us know

Re: how remove the guest acount ?
you could try:
'userdel -r guest'
That removed /home/guest, as well as the guest entries from /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
'man userdel' for more info.
'userdel -r guest'
That removed /home/guest, as well as the guest entries from /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
'man userdel' for more info.

Re: how remove the guest acount ?
guest account has references spread on whole system (rc.M and even linuxrc) so will be tough to wipe it off completely.
if you dont want to use 'toroot' chetcode then i would modify (003)/etc/lxde/lxdm.conf and (004)/usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and change autologin from 'guest' to 'root' (that's what 'toroot' cheat does).

Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

Re: how remove the guest acount ?
If you want to log in as root, you must use the toroot cheatcode every time you login, or the system will revert back to trying to log in as guest. You can edit your bootloader config file to include 'toroot', so that you don't have to type it in manually each time.
Other than that, you will need to manually edit and remaster the modules, as fanthom suggested. This would involve, extracting each module with xzm2dir, manually editing all files, and compressing them back into custom modules with xzm2dir. In addition to the two files fanthom mentioned, you would also need to edit (001)/etc/rc.d/rc.M to remove the section that handles the 'toroot' cheatcode, because rc.M directs the system to change the autologin from root back to guest if the 'toroot' cheatcode is not present. It seems much simpler to use the toroot cheatcode as designed.

Re: how remove the guest acount ?
Thanks. When i saw this thread i new removing guest would be a big job. Fanthom went to great lengths to login guest by default after a vote. It's code is spread throughout many files. I would like to download your module but you linked to the front page of multiupload and not the file you uploaded. Please fix.
