AFAICS there is no user authorization at all. Everyone can hijack a running DVM 
once he knows the URI. The only problem might be, that all processes are 
running under the account of the user who started the DVM. I.e. output files 
have to go to the home directory of this user, as any other user can't write to 
his own directory any longer this way.

Running the DVM under root might help, but this would be a high risk that any 
faulty script might write to a place where sensible system information is 
stored and may leave the machine unusable afterwards.

My first attempts using DVM often leads to a terminated DVM once a process 
returned with a non-zero exit code. But once the DVM is gone, the queued jobs 
might be lost too I fear. I would wish that the DVM could be more forgivable 
(or this feature be adjustable what to do in case of a non-zero exit code).
