From a221de7c7b29742b6f6d16070f7d3bd90673390d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Fehlig Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2016 16:56:22 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] docs: define semantics of vncpasswd in xl.cfg A recent discussion around LSN-2016-0001 [1] included defining the sematics of an empty string for a VNC password. It was stated that "libxl interprets an empty password in the caller's configuration to mean that passwordless access should be permitted". The same applies for vncpasswd setting in xl.cfg. This patch extends to xl.cfg documentation to define the semantics of setting vncpasswd to an empty string.
