Multiple VBox's and User Access Control

Hi,

I'm currently evaluating virtualisation software for servers running around 8-10 virtual desktops per machine accessed via RDP from a thin client.
I see that VirtualBox can do this by tweaking the port numbers, but is there any provision for user access control?

ie. Is there currently anything in place so that a user can only log into their own virtual desktop and not someone elses? Whilst I'm quite happy to code up a little login screen, I guess there's no reason to go re-inventing the wheel if something already exists!

Use different login/bootloader passwords for different guest OSes.

That still means possibly presenting everyone's VM at login. I might see if I can hook the login details from GDM to direct the user to the correct VM.

Anyone tried doing this via PAM on a linux host?
