To clarify what Dan means here (which I found a bit confusing at first :-) When a libvirt client connects to a remote machine, the libvirt client sends the "nc -U ..." command over ssh. So every libvirt on any distro that might connect to a Rawhide libvirtd must be changed to send a "socat ..." command instead. [Having said that, socat does look like a better alternative to the various incompatible netcats, in the long run.] Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
