Nico,
I am trying to build a minimal server with Apache and Qmail(Most
likely) in separate domains with only the programs and services
necessary to run these programs on each domain. I am doing this to
keep the disk space small (for performance and backup), the
performance high , and the security threats down (only have running
what you need).
Thanks
Shane

Hello,
I need some help please.
I want to compile xen-3.1.0 for use on a server that doesn't
have X11 or Xorg installed. I would like to control the servers
through SSH and Telnet (unless you have a suggestion for
something better (more Secure)). I wouldn't be using VNC or
Console(Unless I have to). I have made the kernels and now only
need the tools to control xen.
I have searched the internet and asked for help before(And
seen others ask) but can't seem to find the Documentation or help
I need to only compile the needed components. If anyone could
point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. If I
need to take this to a different list please let me know.
Thank you
Shane
Why do you want to do this? Unweaving the X requirements for the
VNC or SDL graphical console support sounds like a great deal of
pain.
Ahh. Not an unusual approach, but resolving the compilation
dependencies sounds quite painful.
Do not use telnet. Spending all that work on security, then using
telnet, is like picking a 37-character mixed case password and then
taping it to your monitor because you can't remember it: it rather
defeats the purpose.
It may be possible to compile, then rip out the X installation over
the objections of the Xen dependencies. Have you tried that?
Nico,
Not sure if this is what you mean or not but here is what I have
tried..... I did the make world (Which failed of course.) I then did
a make linux-2.6-xen0-config CONFIGMETHOD=menuconfig etc. and got the
kernel to build successfully. I then did cd into each directory and
down as far as I could to make each tool I wanted individually and
the make would always fail with the X dependency problems. I am
going to try it again tonight to see if I can get it work work this
way. Is there a way to turn off the building of programs I don't
want ? (ex. --without-console --without-vnc)
Dude, you're doing package management and dependency management
*MANUALLY*? For cripes sake, why not use a reasonable package
management system like apt or RPM?
I've not tried to turn off the various console access utilities: you'd
have to read the autoconf and Makefile options to see what is available.
Nico,
I appreciate your help on this, I have gone through both the files
mentioned and can't find a way to do it without X. I will keep digging
though. Can anyone tell me why I get a build fail for xenctrl on some
of the binaries?
As far as the package management, I am doing it manually so I can
see everything that goes into the system. I am using this as a learning
experience.
Shane
