Thanks for the mention; we always appreciate it. We don't offer the APIs or host control the op is looking for, and we're not likely to in the near future. That being said, this is decision we made because virtulization and shared hardware already present risks of their own; no need to add to them with APIs and unmonitored hypervisor and/or network operations. Anybody wanting to run OpenBSD "in the cloud" should remember that a secure OS is not enough; the platform is runs on must be trustworthy as well. This has been discussed, or at least virtualization has, many times over the years on this mailing list. We do our best to mitigate the risks and still have the benefits of virtualzation - it's a fine line that different opinions may draw at different points. <plug>If anybody from this list needs a VM, contact me and I'll see what kind of deal I can make you.</plug> -- James Shupe, HermeTek developer/ engineer BSD/ Linux support & hosting jsh...@hermetek.com | www.hermetek.com Office 8662351288 | Mobile 9035223425
