There's no definite answer to your question. You should always keep two things in mind:
* Anybody you can his way into the control domain and gain root privileges can damage all guests in your system. * Any application running on your control domain is open to a DOS attack which then might do disturb services needed by the other guests My personal best practice is to only run (system-)management like stuff apart from services for the guests in the control domain, and put all other stuff in a "simple" guest HTH Martin On 12/22/08 14:37, Mark Dornfeld wrote: > Is it advisable to use the control domain for anything other than LDom > functions?
