[Xen-devel] [PATCH][Take 2] VNC authentification

[Masami Watanabe <masami.watanabe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

This is take 2 on VNC authentification.

The specification is as mentioned at
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2006-09/msg00666.html
The difference is follows.
- correction that passes information through xenstore.
- after information is read, qemu deletes information on xenstore.


Signed-off-by: Masami Watanabe <masami.watanabe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Best regards,
Watanabe
