I just updated my xen-unstable machine on Aug. 11th and I see the
following odd error when attempting to create a guest (note: this guest
had just been shutdown and I was trying to re-create it).  This is also
the first time I''ve seen this:

> [root@laurel x5]# xm create -c -F x5
> Error: Most commands need root access.  Please try again as root
> [root@laurel x5]# id
> uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)
> [root@laurel x5]# xend stop
> [root@laurel x5]# xm list
> (111, ''Connection refused'')
> Error: Error connecting to xend, is xend running?
> [root@laurel x5]# xend start
> [root@laurel x5]# xm list
> Name              Id  Mem(MB)  CPU VCPU(s)  State  Time(s)
> Domain-0           0      251    -      2   r----   1809.5
> [root@laurel x5]# xm create -c -F x5
> Error: Most commands need root access.  Please try again as root
> [root@laurel x5]#

Another question I have is should issues / questions regarding
xen-unstable be presented here, or would another list be more
appropriate, e.g. the developer''s list?  I realize xen-unstable is
currently a moving target and do not want bog down this list with
superfluous issues.

Thanks,

Pat
