Xen guests. The key though is that these users shouldn't have access to the host or the other users VMs. Basically I want to create a VM for user X and then the user should be able to login on that VM and be able to restart it if e.g. he locked himself out or the VM doesn't respond anymore. From what I understand you can provide access to the machines console using VNC/virt-viewer but AFAIK that doesn't provide you with the ability to reboot the VM if it crashed hard so it gets me only half the way.
