Hello,

I'm enjoying my Xen quest very much thus far.

Q:      How does one handle the situation of multiple
root users on dom0
        trying to `xm console' to the same guest?

I was unable to use the virtual console at all until I
added a line to
inittab for agetty to spawn on xvc0.  Now I'm not sure of
an elegant solution
for supporting multiple consoles (possible?), or even
'locking' the one
while it is in use.
This line, used in the RHEL 4.5 and RHEL 5 configurations, does not work with the Xensource published 3.1.0 kernels.

But there seems no built-in solution to this: a flax for the xm console commands would be a reasonable approach, but I find that working with SSH to the virtual hosts works better.
