RW> Mike,
RW> How would you change the password to required??
RW> I would have thought even if it was optional -and- a valid password
RW> was entered then trying to logon with a blank password should fail.
The user management screen has a set of radio buttons for making the
password optional or required. It defaults to optional for the GUEST
account. It defaults to required for all new accounts.
I'm not sure if there are any command-line use management programs
Basically, one should leave the GUEST account as is, and create new ones
for password-protected access to resources.
