It''s much harder than it needs to be. There''s even a proposed

You have several options:
1. install openxencenter on your workstation and point it at your XCP box
2. install xvp (www.xvpsource.org)
3. use the builtin web interface
4. use /usr/lib/xen/bin/xenconsole
For (3) there''s a minor screwup in the 0.1.1 XCP dom0 filesystem. You
can correct it by:
mv /opt/xensource/www /opt/xensource/www.backup
mv /opt/xensource/debug/www /opt/xensource/www
After that you can point your web-browser at your XCP''s management IP
address, login, select consoles and see consoles via the Java viewer.
For (4) [this is a bit of a hack] use ''list_domains'' to find
the domid of your debian lenny, use ''ps axf'' to find the
''vncterm'' process which is serving the console, kill the
vncterm process and then use:
/usr/lib/xen/bin/xenconsole <domid>
