security and guest accounts



Can I ask for some advice?

We've just set up two Slink machines in a graduate student lab.  They
have ethernet connections; there is no firewall.  Some of the students
want to do all their work in a regular way on these machines and those
students have user accounts. But a number just want to be able to
telnet or ssh to another machine quickly and check email.

Is there a safe way to set up a `guest' user-account with a publicly
known password?

Jim
