Re: [libvirt] PATCH: Support VNC password for QEMU guests

This patch adds support for using the monitor interface to set the VNC password (qemu) change vnc password Password: ******** A minor tricky thing is that we can't just send the command and password all in one go, we must wait for the 'Password' prompt before sending the password. When doing this I noticed that virsh dumpxml has no way to request a secure XML dump (required to see the password element), nor did the virsh edit command set the SECURE or INACTIVE flags when changing the XML.
