We set SPICE_XPI_SOCKET to a unix domain socket and then invoke: remote-viewer --spice-controller and then instruct remote-viewer to connect using a password we ostensibly transmit in a secure fashion. I just reviewed the code again; and we don't use any other features of the XPI conversation; the only material thing we can't do if you remove this code is transmit the password. > > I think we should try to solve this at the virt-viewer level, and move the discussion to virt-tools list. > Sure. /me goes to subscribe...
