[PATCH 1/2] Add virGetUserDirectoryByUID to retrieve users homedir
[PATCH 2/2] virt-login-shell joins users into lxc container.
This patch implements most of the changes suggested by Dan Berrange and
Eric Blake.
Some replies to suggested changes.
Removed mingw-libvirt.spec.in changes since virt lxc probably can not be
supported in Windows. Not sure if I need to make changes so my code will not
build on that platform.
Did not make the changes to install virt-login-shell as 4755 automatically.
I guess I want a more firm, make that change request...
I did not make a helper function to parse a list of strings out of conf file.
The getuid and getgid calls return the user that executed the program, when the app is setuid geteuid and getegid return "0". I believe getuid and getgid are correct.
Added virt-login-shell --help, not sure what --program would do?
The program is hard coded to LXC because there is no way that I know of for a ZZ
process to join a running qemu instance.
I have heard back from one security review from Miloslav Trmac, who had similar comments as Eric.
