Re: [Libguestfs] [PATCH] libvirt: disallow non-local connections (RHBZ#1347830)

Not that I'm opposed to this patch, but there's a bit of history here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2012-December/msg00120.html I think it would be good for libvirt to address the "is remote" issue, which libvirt is (in theory) in the best place to address, eg by comparing systemd /etc/machine-id on both systems. Then we could use that to deny remote URIs, but probably we wouldn't want to deny it completely, but allow a way for callers to bypass the check if they know better.
