I guess giving someone a shell account in a VM is usually not less safe
than giving someone shell access on the host of the VM, as long as the
VM does not use kvm and does not run as root. Because even if the user
could break out of the VM, he still has only the same privileges as when
he got a shell access to the host directly.
