guest access without logon screen?

Is it possible to configure subsonic so that when someone comes to the site they are automatically logged in as a guest user with guest permissions without having to go through the logon screen?

I'm currently using a jinzora based website, but I'm very impressed with how well subsonic works and I'm very interested in converting my site over to subsonic.

Jinzora does this by default, which is why I wanted to ask if anyone knew how to do this or if it could be added as a feature.

There are two ways you can effectively achieve the same result.

You can post a message on the logon page that tells viewer to use "guest" for the Username and Password, or you can just embed the guest username and password in a link to the site.

http://maplegrovepartners.subsonic.org/ ... word=guest

The board truncated the link: login.view?user=guest&password=guest

is the last part.

If you had clicked on the link that GJ had kindly provided you would have seen that it does bypass the login screen :?

in order to get the same functionality that I have on jinzora it needs to go directly to the main index page on the site instead of the logon screen. without the ability to do that, it makes it hard for google to index the pages on my site. I want the site to be a public site.

That is the exactly the functionality GJ has provided. Working for me.
