RE: [Xen-users] Why is XenCenter telling me to register my XCP box?

Placing a web management interface in the Dom0 is a bad idea.  If there is
ever a security issue with the web interface, the Dom0 would be vulnerable.
Also, if the web tool started using a lot of CPU time (because of sloppy
code or a DoS attack), then the Dom0 would get slowed down enough to reduce
the performance of all of the DomU.  For best results, let the Dom0 simply
do Dom0 related tasks.  Don't put web interfaces or other services into the
Dom0.  It is not worth the risk.

I actually resolved the Win32gui issue (it was related to another library
required for python-Win32gui).  Once I resolved that, openxenmanager works
(for a few minutes).  It seems to hang once a VNC session has been opened
(sometimes before).  I noticed that the openxenmanager distro includes a
windows VNC exe file.

The thing I really need something for, rather than being able to open a
remote terminal session into my VM's, is managing the VM's themselves on
DOM0 (which is, unfortunately, absent from xenmanager xva).

Xenwebmanager xva is a cool idea, though.  What would be really, really cool
is if it was #1) self-contained in DOM0 and #2) available as a setup option
on XCP and #3) the VM management tools from openxenmanager were added to it.
My world would be perfect in that case :D
