Re: [Xen-users] SSH Console access

["Ryan Burke" <burke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, that was one of the possible solutons, but like you said it feels
a bit clumsy, however it should work. I was worried about scalability,
especially since these users will be spanning multiple boxes. Although i
don't see having 30k+ users at the moment :).

If anyone has anymore ideas I'd love to here them. It would be great if
the devs would add SSH as part of the console protocol instead of
cleartext. Oh well, maybe I'll take a look.

Thanks again.
Ryan
