Hogwash, while yes you will definitely need more resources as far as hard disk, memory and network there is no need to worry about user X overwritting user Y's data. Hell Unix and it's variants had been successfully doing multi-user X sessions for years before even Windows 95 was a glint in Bill's eyes.
As an after-thought, it occurred to me that I may have not been obvious enough in my original reply. Having been working on *IX variants since PWB V6/7, circa 1978, I've some understanding of *IX general capabilities, and some understanding of the basic capabilities of various utilities that run on *IX systems. I'm not expert at anything, but don't claim such expertise either.
As to my soapbox paragraph, it seems to fit with generally accepted concerns about security issues, at which I'm also no expert. If the requested <CTL>-<ALT>... does not imply a local console, I'm glad to learn new stuff.
