Xen devel - May 2005 - [PATCH] xend-config.sxp (-unstable tree)

This patch (against -unstable ChangeSet@1.1575) does the followings:

- put some configurable variables to xend_config.sxp, and set them to
default values. That will make people aware of their existence, and
let them easily reconfigure xend when needed.
- set some daemon addresses to ''localhost'' instead of empty
string,
which makes them more secure by default.
- add one comment and fix some wrong comments in XendRoot.py

I''ve not applied this part because we''re not sure
we''re going to keep
some of these.
I''d rather see these documented in the documentation.

I''ve only changed this for the consoles, the http server is off by
default and if you switch it on, you''ll most likely want to access it
from another machine.  Changing the default for the relocation server
to be localhost makes absolutely not sense ;-)

i see the point, but how about part of this patch in -testing tree
(see http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2005-05/msg01204.html).
i believe that those options are stable, so if you apply -testing
patch (this -testing patch got no comment), we should keep the same
options in this patch, and not reject them all.

regards,
aq

I think those are rather obscure options and we don''t really want to
encourage people to change them...
