If you do not use xVM, you can skip this message.

The putback of:

PSARC 2008/289 Least Privilege for xVM

constitutes a flag day. In particular:

- /ws/xvm-gate/public/bin/update_xvm, and BFU, have been updated. You
  may need to update any local copies
- You must update your xVM packages when you BFU or upgrade to these
  bits (and you must use the new version of update_xvm), and vice versa.
- Those xVM users who are used to setting vncpasswd: this is no longer
  necessary. With these bits, by default, no VNC password is used, and
  only root/privileged users can access guest domain consoles.

thanks,
