I guess it would be nice to have tcp sockets as an option (with a
optional restriction to localhost access), but not a huge deal. In any
event, xend needs to know of, or prefereable be in control of, which tty
or port gets allocated.

What I'd really like to see this console deamon do is to implement a
FIFO buffer of the last N megabytes of console output, hence providing
buffering while the tty is disconnected. Regardless of whether the tty
is connected, it would be good to keep the last M megabytes stored on
disk in /var/log/xen-myvmname.

Thanks,
Ian
