None at all, actually. I just started libvirtd on my local mac on
which I also have VirtualBox installed.
Speaking of which, it would be nice to have a launchctl file for
libvirtd. I might be able to come up with something...

Ah, I can't help you with that (yet), since all our boxes are in

I will get some new hardware next week, on which I can do some testing.

Have you tried connecting with gnutls? Curious if that works.
