I need to have more than one user logged into my PC's VMWare Linux virtual simultaneously, each seeing a graphical display, to test my software's ability to affect their displays one by one. I have never done anything like this before. My Linux virtuals have been for my development only, that is for only one user sitting at the PC. What is my easiest path to allow remote logins, and, as I have said, more than one simultaneously? I don't know a lot about this kind of thing.
Thanks.

What do you mean by 'display'? Are you testing software for a server that will literally have several independent video monitors?
If not, I don't see how you'd even have two different displays.
If you mean this in a less literal sense, remote desktop sessions like vnc should suffice.
You can use VNC as has been mentioned. Another option is to use xming or any other number of X servers, including NX, which is pretty nice.
The free version of nomachine's NX server allows for 2 named users and 2 concurrent users to connect simultaneously.
FreeNX has no such limitations, but is not as easy to implement if you are new to this.
When I say display, I mean that I set up accounts for a few people and they log in remotely by "some method" which is provides a graphical session. The purpose is to enable me to test features of my software which can communicate with multiple remote users one at a time, which supposes that I know how to have multiple simultaneous remote users. The suggestions made so far are giving me some idea of how this might be done simply. I can research them. What I am looking for is a way to have users log in remotely even when more than one do so simultaneously. Once I have that, I can handle the graphics questions. I am working on some software that has many diverse features and one of them is to show graphics to users even if there is more than one on the same box.
