security review of authorise_login() requested (or an explanation :)

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

hi, why is authorise_login() doing a check for a previously registered
guest username, and then if this succeeds, setting the guest status to
True without reinitialising any other info?

i mean, is it _ok_ to reuse user_structs like this?

yours, confused,

luke
