Re: [Xen-devel] severe security issue on dom0/xend/xm/non-root users

You can 1 and 3 just as easily with the Unix domain socket method.
Although you could also do 2, there's no need (2 is not a flexibility
advantage, it's just something you have to do to make the port<1024
method secure).
More importantly, using SCM_CREDENTIALS allows you to pass the actual
user credentials overs the domain socket.
This is by far the best mechanism as it allows access control to be
implemented entirely within the daemon without doing any nasty set[ug]id
trickery. Its entire purpose in life is doing exactly what we're trying
to do :-)
