[opencms-dev] Using Guest CmsUser

[Pere Torrodellas]

To answer my own question: it doesn't work, because the CmsUser instance
seems to be shared for all guest users, right?

I should have guessed it, because the user name is always "Guest", and
possibly OpenCms uses this in some way. Sorry to have wasted your time :-(
