Hi @ll, i use XEN with Debian Squeeze Server (amd64). I installed a minimal Debian Squeeze System and then install/configure XEN like the howto ( http://wiki.debian.org/Xen) Further on i installed on same system a SAMBA3 server as PDC with server based user profiles. The server is configured with two network cards, but SAMBA is configured to use (bind) only one of them. Is it a problem to use both XEN and SAMBA3 on the same machine? I ask this, because i have trouble with this SAMBA installation. Thanks. Best regards Stefan

In general you should be able to run anything in a virtual machine which you would run on a physical host, that''s rather the point ;-) (there are obviously exceptions, e.g. requirements to access particular hardware etc) Ian.> I ask this, because i have trouble with this SAMBA installation. > > Thanks. > > > Best regards > Stefan > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xen.org > http://lists.xen.org/xen-users

Netatalk won''t start up it''s Appletalk protocol daemon - it needs multicast which doesn''t seem to be provided by the virtual NIC driver. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
