Mac OS X We generally don't report on individual bugs or security issues in operating systems, but a pretty serious bug has reared its ugly head in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. If you had a guest account enabled prior to installing Snow Leopard, then you are at risk of losing all your data.

Apple should just remove the "guest login" ability from Mac OS X; they've been having nothing but trouble with it, and it looks like they can't be bothered to test it. Looks like they can't be bothered to program it correctly, actually.

Just remove it so nobody gets their system compromised again, and nobody loses their data again!
