[dundee] VM Server 2 Update

[gordon dunlop]

I have been playing about with this for a couple of days, whilst the
functionality has greatly increased from previous versions the one
thing that really concerns me is security. The main console for
management is through a web browser, virtual machines are supposed to
have security through isolation and here we are logging in as root
through a web browser, normally the weakest layer of resistance for
attacks from hackers. It seems to me that VMWare are sacrificing
security for functionality, maybe the ethical hackers can comment on
this with their specialist knowledge.  Anyway I have gone back to
VMWare version 1.07 because of this, just for the record VMWare is not
my principal method of virtualisation, I also use Virtual Box, Xen,
Qemu etc. etc. I like to keep abreast of new developments in
virtualisation technology so I use as many different methods as I can.
