Hi All,

just a quicky. Is it a security breach (by any means) if I run the
official XenSource e.g. vmlinuz-2.6-xen kernel as my domU kernel? I

AFAIK, openSUSE (SLES10) uses the very same kernel to boot Dom0 and DomUs. It's conventient if you think about kernel updates and kernel security fixes. However each DomU has it's own copy of the kernel that's used to boot the DomU.

Never had an unsafe feeling with that.

The RedHat 4.92 beta release seems to do the same thing.
