I'm looking for a way to disable some features in my application if it's being run by the Leopard Guest account.

I tried using CSIdentityQueryCreateForCurrentUser() as outlined in the Identity Services Programming Guide to determine the current account running the app, and when run by an admin account, it returns the expected identity.

However, when run by Guest, the returned array of entries contains no objects. Would that be sufficient to reliably establish that the Guest account is current?

Comparing NSUserName() against @"guest" seems rather more straightforward, as well as less likely to break if Apple changes the way guest accounts are implemented.

But will that work in non-english speaking locales?
