This is a repost of a previously posted patch.
Attached is a test for automatic testing of of the nwfilter rules as

are instantiated in form of ebtables, iptables and ip6tables rules on running VMs.
The test automatically starts libvirtd from the build directory unless it finds libvirtd running. My hope is that one won't notice this. It uses virsh from the build directory to create two dummy VMs with random name suffixes. The VMs don't boot any OS but just stop in the BIOS. This is enough to run the nwfilter tests. Afterwards the nwfilter of the one VM are continuously modified and the instantiation is checked. The instantiation of rules of the 2nd VM are also continously checked to verify that the modifications on the 1st VM has had no effect on the instantiated rules of the 2nd VM.
I'm still a bit wary of this patch. Is this something that can be done with 'virsh -c test:///default' can do? Or can we at least copy how
test doesn't support the functionality, so no, it cannot be used like that.
daemon-conf runs an instance of libvirtd pointing to an independent pid and config file, whether or not the system libvirtd is running?
yes, I am looking into this.
Or should we be trying to do this as part of libvirt-tck instead?
I know. Hurdle being Perl for me and I so far have had lots of problems getting that test suite to run; some problems were related just to compile the dependent libvirt perl project, others then with a perl dependency and my FC13 installation etc. Stefan
