Doesn't botting under Xen have platform as i86xpv ?

No. For one thing, it was found that way too much software is (somewhat
incorrectly) using uname -m.

        svc:/system/xctl/store:default                  Volatile
        svc:/system/xctl/console:default                Volatile
        svc:/system/xctl/xend:default                   Volatile
        svc:/system/xctl/xend:default (properties)      Volatile
xctl seems rather cryptic.

What about svc:/system/xen/ rather than xctl as the prefix ?
Or if you prefer system/xen/xctl ?

Legal reasons. I don't know if I can say any more than that.


Could the 'xpv' as used as the implemented platform also be used for service naming to keep the connection obvious in spite of this?
