Hi,

i think i found it out:
When logging on as guest on the GUI, a user is created on-the-fly. And this one is called 
guest-"and-some-cryptical-character-sequence".
That's the user i found in /etc/passwd. And when logging off this user is deleted. Someone must have logged on twice as 
guest, what my collegue normally does not, but i will ask him ...
And the apparmor and rtkit stuff is always started when logging on as guest on the gui.
So it seems to be normal.

Maybe a bit overreacting of mine, but better to be a bit paranoid when dealing with computers.

Thanks for any help.


Bernd
