The GitHub project "Guest Users Module for Linux" offers guest user support for Linux devices through the PAM and GNU nss frameworks. It enables the creation of new user accounts for guest logins, ensuring guest user separation. These accounts remain hidden from most GUI system parts but persist as long as the guest-users package is installed to prevent UID/GID re-use. The project provides comprehensive information on installation, configuration, development setup, and architecture. It covers installation from repositories, configuration options, tips, limitations, development setup, database setup, building, and architectural decisions regarding guest users' management. For those interested in this project, detailed guidance and support are available.
