[libvirt] [PATCH 3/3] qemu: Add conf option to auto setup VNC unix sockets

Cole Robinson crobinso at redhat.com
Wed Jan 12 17:32:44 UTC 2011


If vnc_auto_unix_socket is enabled, any VNC devices without a hardcoded
listen or socket value will be setup to serve over a unix socket in
/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/$vmname.vnc.

We store the generated socket path in the transient VM definition at
CLI build time.

 # a VNC client which supports the VeNCrypt protocol extension.
