Hello there, I am a student of computer science at the TU Wien and I am approcing for the first time to Virtualization... I had try to setup some server and everything runs good. What i would like to do now is to set up one unique home for all virtual servers. My target is to,at the end, createthe users just once for all servers! Maybe for some of you is really easy... but as I told I am a beginner, and for me wouldbe really nice to recieve some help!

thanks to all

Every Virtual server is a server on it's own and is treated as such. Individual settings, individual packages/programs and individual users. Remember, you can install any OS in a VM. Ubuntu host, with both a Windows and RedHat ES VM are perfectly possible.

If you want shared user management, you should probably setup something like LDAP (or NIS, but that not used that often anymore).
