How do I disable the guest session?

I gave my daughter's user account on Ubuntu 11.10 a password that only I know so that I could control her use of the computer if needed. She just logs in to the "Other" account on the log in page, defeating all my use of a password that only I know. Can anyone help with this problem? Is there any way to delete the "Other" account? Thanks in advance for any help.

I am assuming you mean you want to disable the guest account on your computer. You can do this by opening a terminal and typing sudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf. A gedit(text editor) window will open. Find the portion of the document that starts with [SeatDefaults]. Find the line allow-guest and change it to allow-guest=false. Click save in gedit and close the terminal, then restart the computer. The guest option will no longer be at the login screen.
