Update qemu-kvm man page
There's the note of changing password using "change" command which is not working
for VNC password change purposes and you should use "set_password" command instead. This patch fixes the man page.
Michal
Reproduce on qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6.x86_64&kernel2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64
Reproduce steps:
1 #man qemu-kvm
...
password
Require that password based authentication is used for client
connections. The password must be set separately using the
"change" command in the pcsys_monitor
...
2. boot up guest with "-vnc :$port,password".
3. use the "change" command set the password separately.
(qemu) change vnc sluo
4. connect to the guest by VNC with the password.
Actual results:
after the step 2, cann't set the password use "change"
(qemu) change vnc sluo
inet_parse: hostname parse error (sluo)
Could not start VNC server on sluo
(qemu) ? change
change device filename [format] -- change a removable medium, optional format
Verified on: qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.331.el6.x86_64 kernel 2.6.32-335.el6.x86_64 Verified steps: 1 Refer to Comment 2, disable changing password using "change" command and should use "set_password" command instead. #man qemu-kvm ... password Require that password based authentication is used for client connections. The password must be set separately using the "set_password" command in the pcsys_monitor. The syntax to change your password is: "set_password <protocol> <password>" where <protocol> could be either "vnc" or "spice". If you would like to change <protocol> password expiration, you should use "expire_password <protocol> <expiration-time>" where expiration time could be one of the following options: now, never, +seconds or UNIX time of expiration, e.g. +60 to make password expire in 60 seconds, or 1335196800 to make password expire on "Mon Apr 23 12:00:00 EDT 2012" (UNIX time for this date and time). ... 2 boot up guest with "-vnc :$port,password" and set up password on qemu monitor (qemu)set_password vnc xxx /* password set up without error 3 connet to the guest by vnc with the password "xxx" Actual results: after step 2 ,password set up complete without error after step 3 ,connect to guest with password success So this bug was fixed.
