I really doubt that, unless you created them by coping the host installation into the guest ... please provide some details about the system and tools, e.g. http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/SCRIPT/testme.sh and how you created them ... > I was wondering what would happen if I were to change the password on > the base machine.
