Thats fine as long as you don't use MD5 for password hashes (no 
distribution past ~2008, I guess). But its security relies on you never 
handing out the password to anybody, so I don't understand why you don't 
disable logins directly if you want to make the VM a sealed box.

Well if you don't hand out the password then that would be difficult to do, 
non? Of course you can always modify a VM that is running on your computer 
but its not exactly a friendly process for new users ;-)
