Description Christoph Anton Mitterer 2014-10-11 15:43:07 UTC 
Hi.

As bug #947020 was closed without dealing with all wishes expressed in it I'm open a follow up here:

IMHO, for security reasons, SPICE should be usable as well via UNIX sockets instead of TCP.

This of course doesn't only apply to libvirt/qemu on the server side, but also to the client side (i.e. virt-manager and perhaps virt-viewer as well).


Cheers,
Chris.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

qemu will support this with 2.3.0, but I don't think libvirt supports it for spice yet
