I've posted this twice before with no answer. Would someone please
respond. Is there a way to enable Gnatsweb to let guest (ie - users
that have no signed-on) to view a bug db? If so, how?

First, you need to deal with your website authentication (or not) to
allow a guest account.
Second, you need to provide a gnatsd.access file with a guest account
with some known password (empty passwords should also be possible) that
is given view privilege.
An entry like this:
guest:$0$guest:view:default
in your gnatsd.user_access file should mean that a loging with userid
'guest' and password 'guest' should get the view access you want. Be
aware that you would want to place this near the top of the file before
any wild-card login entries.
For more information, you may wish to look at google with
a search string like
view guest gnats site:mail.gnu.org
There have been various threads and bug reports over the last few years
on this topic.
Good luck,

Thank you so much for the reply. I was beginning to wonder. :-)
It's too bad that you have to actually go through the sign-in page for
guest view. I would ideally like to give my users a URL that simply
displays the list of open bugs without requiring them to go through the
sign-in page first.
I'll look through the google results to see what I can find.
Thanks!
