What about the VNC password? That's per-VM, isn't it?
That is true by I don't really consider VNC password to be useful. It is utterly insecure. ...

With KVM/QEMU, you can set a VNC password per VM.
But I think it is either/or though; you can use VNC with passwords (no encryption), or use VNC with TLS, which is encrypted, but anyone with a valid certificate can connect (to any VM).
Ok, makes sense. In my own case, where VNC only listens on 127.0.0.1 and all remote connections are tunneled through SSH anyway, I think that plaintext passwords and the lack of VNC encryption would be OK. Thanks for the clearifications. -jim
