          Description

          Sometimes two guest accounts exist, and so login fails.

          This discussion has a clear summary http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=152147

          There's two things that should be fixed:

          1) Login should be more tolerant, in this instance probably. (will fix sites with the problem)
          2) The guest account creation should check better before it creates a new one. (prevents the problem in future)

            I have already changed significantly the guest account handling in 2.0dev + my enrol patch, it should not happen any more because the guest and admin account are created only in db/install.php

            I am going to review the login process, but I think it might be better to drop all duplicate guest accounts instead...
