Nope, not by default. In Hardy and earlier versions you have to edit /etc/pam.d/gdm to look like this:
Code:
#%PAM-1.0
auth requisite pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_env.so readenv=1
auth required pam_env.so readenv=1 envfile=/etc/default/locale
auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup nopasswdlogin
...
and create the nopasswdlogin group:
Code:
sudo addgroup --system nopasswdlogin
EDIT: If you want to use aysiu's method, then instead of manually editing the shadow file, you could use usermod to change the user's password:
Code:
sudo usermod -p 'U6aMy0wojraho' guest
where guest is the login name of the user.
