Got t. If you make the xenstored directory, then xend can do its own:


planb:~/ $ rm -r /var/run/xend* /var/run/xenstore*
planb:~/ $ /etc/init.d/xend start
planb:~/ $ ls -ld /var/run/xend /var/run/xenstored
ls: /var/run/xend: No such file or directory
ls: /var/run/xenstored: No such file or directory
planb:~/ $ /etc/init.d/xend stop
planb:~/ $ vi /etc/init.d/xend
# add a line at the top to 'mkdir -p /var/run/xenstored'
planb:~/ $ /etc/init.d/xend start
planb:~/ $ ls -ld /var/run/xend /var/run/xenstored
drwx------ 2 root root 60 2006-05-11 15:53 /var/run/xend
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 2006-05-11 15:53 /var/run/xenstored

Probably worth doing it in xen itself, so you don't pick up a  screwy umask
like I just did (755 probably not the best permissions to put on the xenstored/
directory...)
