Doesn't sound too difficult. Make a guest-master account and keep its
password secret. Make a simple script that removes /home/guest and
replaces it with a copy of /home/guest-master. Put the script in
/etc/cron.daily. Then log in as guest-master when you need to change the
settings in the guest account.
