Re: [Libvir] PATCH: Allow remote driver to handle any connection URI

We currently have logic in the remote driver so that it handles the local QEMU driver URIs, so they get re-directed to the daemon. It also handles networking APIs for Xen driver. For normal APIs, Xen has the auto-spawned setuid proxy daemon. This was very useful at the time we wrote it, but it only supports a handful of operations, and only in read-only mode. One other factor is that SUSE, for example, do not ship it because it is setuid. I don't know whether this is just a general policy, or just because they've not had time to audit it, but that's not very good for their users.
