Yeah, I understand this desire. The unix security model is not very sophisticated. However, it's awfully convenient to use user-based security. Particularly in dealing with networks. If security can be based on unix users then with pam, you automatically have security solutions that work in a kerberos, ldap, or even windows network environment. It doesn't have to be the only way or even the preferred way. > > 2) control interface multiplexing (xsc does this) > > > > 3) intelligent dom0 rebooting (autostart domains like Xend does) > > We've been thinking on terms of having a 'persistent' flag on domains to > inidicate that they should always be running, and hence started on boot. A domain information database would be useful. It would be nice for it to be accessible via many applications though. Otherwise, you have the problem you have in Xend right now where the domain 'names' are not visible to other applications that can still see the domain. > > 4) domain consoles interfaced through pseudo-terminals > > I'm not sure of the advantage of this, as its frequent you want to > export them over a network, either via tcp, or ssl. You're right. It's not a make-or-break feature. But it is still useful for some scenarios.
