Yes, that's true. I think it's mandatory to set an authentication method.
This can be certificates or username/password.

I think that if the user that logs in using this guest account is able to
authenticate using the BBS login screen, or register as a new user, it
would be nice.

What I don't like is to force new users to register with one username
(guest) and then use another username to access the BBS later. I think it
is confusing.

It would also be nice if this "guest" username were configurable.
