That's the way it works in Linuxland as well. Admin installs<br>
application and users have access to use it.<br>
<br>
The vm stuff will be static - i.e. a single user login unless you have<br>
some ldap/ad stuff setup inside the vm.<br>
<br>
So you create a vm and install as root the apps you need setting stuff<br>
to run on boot as needed. Now create a simple user inthe vm with a<br>
disposable password, login and verify that user can do what is<br>
required. Then you shutdown and copy the vm space. Each developer then<br>
has their own vmware space and they import the vm you made to their<br>
space. Once they start your vm, the switch into it, login as the<br>
preset user and they're back to work.<br>
