Hello,

I am considering using XEN to host "virtual dedicated servers" for a
few of my clients. Are there any security issues that would allow domU
(guestOS) admins access to dom0 or global xend commands by default? If
so, is there anything I can do to lock it down so that only dom0 users
(root) would have access to dom0 and the xend commands?

Thanks,
Brian
