What group does Guest belong to?

I usually create a group that all of my users will belong to by default.

I'm attaching a couple of classes that I use to create WebUsers (note 
that to change the code from WebUsers to regular Users all you have to 
do is change cms.addWebUser to cms.addUser) There's nothing particularly 
special about any of the code... it's pretty straightforward.

I'm also including the password generation utility so that the password 
code will make sense. If you need password generation stuff, you'll have 
to download the jar (URL is in the code) from Ostermiller.org

 From the code I provided, all you need to do is create JSPs that 
construct and use the classes. However, you may find it more beneficial 
to use my code as a reference for your own use.

If anyone finds this code useful enough to post on the forums, feel free.
