You also, for a shared login like that, should use a browser in a kiosk mode that doesn't allow changes to settings, history, etc. Unless you want to clean it up occasionally.


Doesn't sound too difficult. Make a guest-master account and keep its password secret. Make a simple script that removes /home/guest and replaces it with a copy of /home/guest-master. Put the script in /etc/cron.daily. Then log in as guest-master when you need to change the settings in the guest account.

In shared computer labs at colleges and many high schools, the system is designed to check/refresh the system back to default everytime someone logs in. Instead of using cron, use a per-login script.
