I hope to look at this some time soon (if I can access the xen box in the cluster?) but I've been swamped lately. -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid ___ freebsd-xen@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-xen To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-xen-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I'll get kerberos up and running on the hypervisor so you can screw around in a bit.
