Hi,

Is it possible to read/write the xenstore from another physical machine?

I know it uses Unix socket. So it looks hard to access it remotely, isn't it?
Hi weiming,

whilst it's not possible at the moment and certainly a bad idea security wise, make xenstored listen on a tcp socket along with the unix socket is very easy.

cheers,
