Eelco Dolstra 2ae0060bde * qemu-kvm: a quick hack to support connecting a Unix domain socket on ... the host to a TCP port on the guest. This will be useful for automated testing using QEMU virtual machines. Using TCP ports on the host is insecure and hard to manage (since you need to pick an available host port). For example: $ qemu-system-x86_64 ... -redir tcp:65535::514 creates a Unix domain socket `./65535.socket' on the host. (There is no proper syntax yet, so as a hack all host "ports" above 0xff00 are treated in this way.) Connections to that socket are then forwarded to TCP port 514 on the guest. So the guest can do $ nc -l -p 514 -e /bin/sh to execute a shell for incoming connections on port 514, and then the host can do $ socat stdio ./65535.socket to run a shell on the guest. svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=16593		2009-08-05 17:26:39 +00:00
