for setting the hardware clock: i think things like this shouldn''t be granted to dom0 by default, but be manually granted to specific doms. it would be preferable to run ntpd in an unprivileged domain, dom0 is just too valuable for this. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The SF.net Donation Program.

The intention is to split up the ''privilege'' in to a bit mask to enable finer grained control and granting of specific privileges to domains, (like the ''CAP_*'' stuff in Linux). It should be a fairly simple task to split the privileges up -- one for the todo list.

Adjusting it so that access to each `privileged'' hypercall is controlled by one capability each might be neat, and help work out a neat rearrangement for the hypercalls. -- Keir ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The SF.net Donation Program.

I can''t figure out how to install xen for the life of me. Here''s as far as i have gotten. Obviously its not getting the linux kernel version or something. Looks like i am running 2.4.20-8amp SMP on redhat 9.0. I tried to things one other try gives me cannot handle file libc.so.6 with tls date unable to identify linux version. If somebody can walk me through i would be internally grateful. Or even login and help me .

The problem is most liekly that the version of bitkeeper you downloaded or have installed is not compatible with your glibc. Does ''bk version'' tell you anything? Also, the output from ''ldd `which bk`'' and ''ls -l /lib/libc*'' might be useful. -- Keir ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The SF.net Donation Program.
