Good point.. :)

I have been thinking about adding a guest account but haven't done it yet. I
just tried to log in with ssh with no user name with syncterm and it won't
even try without a username entered. The protocol must require it so a guest
account is now more important than before.

Maybe an option on the main menu for a guest to create an account if they
like would solve this?
