What?
This splits virsh console into a separate binary to allow it to be setuid-root on Solaris (where we check permissions then drop privilege). It also fixes a number of RFEs
This is against 0.4.0, so it's not ready for merging yet (I hope to get it forward ported at some point).
I may be mistaken but this seems to basically be limited to console for domains running on the local machine, and hum, I doubt it's really a good approach.
This is an incremental improvement over what exists in the current code (and indeed, is a partially a response to code review comments from Dan). It's not reasonable to expect me to go off and implement something else altogether (a remote console server). regards john
