BTW, for the command-line challenged (or those who just didn't want to 
think about it):

sudo chsh guest

Set the shell to /sbin/nologin or whatever other obvious dummy shell 
appears in /etc/shells and the account won't cause you any problems.

sudo userdel guest

That might also work, although there is a pretty good chance that the 
guest account is needed for some services (probably web service if 
nothing else).
