Are you trying to make the point that, with containers,
you wouldn't need ssh, and you would with VMs? If so,
that's at least not turth with Xen (xm console <domain>,
which can easily be granted using the dom0 ssh server
and few sudo tricks).
If I'm interpreting wrongly what you wrote above, then
please explain, I'd be happy to understand! :)
