Ah, that's a good point.  I had not thought of it because I don't put ps 
or kill in the vm.  But anyway, I allocate users within each vm and give 
them a disabled entry in the main password file, with the same uid 
used in the main passwd file and the vm passwd file. That way I get 
sensible information when I do an ls.  The vm users don't get root access 
within their own vm.
