Jim,
that sounds a great idea.
Do you have any idea if this could be achieved using just one
box, by using automatic login to maybe Vmware?
I know the automatic login part works, as I remember asking GLLUG
about this a long time ago.



The box itself runs Linux, but the user session is Vmware.
highly restrict the terminals that root can log in on -
maybe use a serial terminal for root login.
