    initial v1  
    11The purpose of VBOX_USER_HOME is to relocate the configuration directory. Maybe I am too blind to see, but the documentation doesn't restrict this in any way to a single user account. Maybe this "single-user-only" approach goes without saying on Windows, but on Unix this is a bug (IMHO).

    3 Please note that this umask issue is still the major concern of my colleagues against using Virtualbox. They prefer Vmware Workstation/Player, because Vmware gusts are a lot easier to deploy. Using Vmware the admins manage the virtual hosts (without breaking into foreign user accounts), and the users "just use it". Is it too much to ask for to get the same for Virtualbox? Please remember that we are talking about the access bits to just a few config and image files.
