What versions *should* we have? I tried this yum update, but it didn't grab
anything new. I'm still seeing the "No such file or directory" error for
all
xm commands..

Could you do 'strace xm list' and post the log as an attachment.
Also, I'm wondering if there is an SELinux polcy fix we missed out. Could
you tell me if you have selinux enabled, and in enforcing or permissive
mode. If enforcing, see if there's anything interesting (AVC denials) in
/var/log/messages, or /var/log/audit/audit.log
# ps -ef|grep xen
root 9 7 0 Oct26 ? 00:00:00 [xenwatch]
root 10 7 0 Oct26 ? 00:00:00 [xenbus]
root 2600 1 0 Oct26 ? 00:00:00 python /usr/sbin/xend start
root 2601 2600 0 Oct26 ? 00:00:00 python /usr/sbin/xend start
An 'lsof -p 2601' would be handy to let us see what ports xend is listening
for connections on.

Dan.
