xen discuss - Apr 2009 - Code review for stopper: 7315 xVM VNC service doesn''t work

http://cr.opensolaris.org/~johnlev/xvm-vnc-chown/

Now Xvnc runs as the ''jack'' user on the live CD, the password
file must
be owned by jack for it to work.

Note that a full fix for this would make this VNC service only exist on
the live CD[1]. As a temporary measure, we just disable ourselves
post-install.

Process question: after putting back to pkg-gate, does this need
including in a respin gate for 2009.06 or not? Not clear on the dates
here.

thanks
john

[1] if someone can tell me how to go about this, I''ll file a
lower-priority bug to clean this up post-commit

Looks good.  As this service only makes sense on the Live CD, it might
make sense to change the description from "xVM VNC Server" to
something
like "Live CD xVM VNC Server" or somesuch.

Also, I just noticed in vnc-config.xml that the documentation tag
refers to Xorg.1 but I assume you meant Xvnc.1.

If you get it in this week, it will be included in our build 3.
