Virtualization Security
Submitted by Jeremy on October 25, 2007 - 10:28am.

A thread on the OpenBSD -misc mailing list began by discussing whether
or not XEN had been ported to OpenBSD, "is it planned at some point to
release a paravirtualized xen kernel for OpenBSD 4.3 or 4.4?" Later in
the discussion it was suggested that virtualization should be a priority
for security reasons, "virtualization seems to have a lot of security
benefits." OpenBSD creator Theo de Raadt strongly disagreed with this
assertion, "you've been smoking something really mind altering, and I
think you should share it."
