[systemd-devel] Should systemd-logind provide a DM-independent mechanism for handling guest accounts?

[Laércio de Sousa]

Hi there!

Currently there are few alternatives for implementing guest accounts in
Linux systems. I know only two: an AppArmor-based approach implemented in
LightDM, and a SELinux-based approach implemented in Fedora's package
"xguest" that works with GDM. There's no option for console guest login
(should it be needed?).

I was thinking if systemd-logind could handle itself guest accounts in the
future, making it available for use by any display manager (and even
console logins, who knows?).

What do you think about it?
