| Sharing Virtualbox with more than 1 user I don't know how to do this, or if even possible.... but need to think about it as tax time will upon me before I know it.
Debian Lenny
Virtualbox-ose installed, forget about guest addons, they never load/work for me... another topic, another day...
3 users on the machine.
I have installed an XP o/s in virtualbox for one of the users. Created the user accounts on xp.
I want all debian users to be able to run the installed xp from their own sessions.
Step 1 (as i see it) is to alter permissions for /home/mama/.Virtualbox to allow the other 2 users access to the folder.
Step 2 = ? Somehow alter the virtualbox launcher to access /home/mama/.Virtualbox, instead of defaulting to /home/papa/.Virtualbox
Possible? Unnecessary?
Would a symbolic link in /home/papa/.Virtualbox work better? Or at all?

kudos:1 | You should just be able to change the permissions on /home/mama/.Virtualbox and then add the virtual disk when logged in as papa by browsing to /home/mama/.Virtualbox/wherever_your_disk_file_is in the virtual disk manager. |

Howdy,
Could you enable RDP within VirtualBox? See attached .png?
Or install VNC in the VM?
Cheers,

canada | Hi, thx for the response.
About to show ignorance here... You can RDP between local users? |

kudos:1 | You would have to have mama already logged in and running the VM. |

Howdy,
No worries on `ignorances' - we're all learning eh? 
Consider your VM as a stand-alone computer. Set its `Network' adapter to be a `Bridged Adapter' (see attached .png). Your VM will acquire its own IP address. At this point, you can point your RDP/VNC client to the new machine.
Depending on your VM/XP firewall settings, you should be able to `ping'

You can also look at setting up your VM as `headless'
btw, there's a very active VirtualBox list where you can get help from folks using VBox and the VBox engineers. They're super nice!
