I found two possibilities:

User and password field

Advantages

  • no duplicate users
  • cleaner

Disadvantages

  • users have to type *guest to log in as a guest
  • ugly handling of users without passwords (practically only *guest) (have to click on log in button twice)

User list

Advantages

  • easier to understand
  • guest user selectable

Disadvantages

  • Does not work well with more than ~ 20 users or at least two users with the same name
