Hello,

There is a small bug in xenstore.c: the following patch is needed
because else xenstore_read_vncpasswd would return 0 even when it is
unable to read the passwd.

diff -r 9e92672385a5 tools/ioemu/xenstore.c

+++ b/tools/ioemu/xenstore.c    Wed Jan 23 15:53:01 2008 +0000
@@ -518,7 +518,7 @@ int xenstore_read_vncpasswd(int domid, c
         pwbuf[0] = '\0';
         free(uuid);

-        return rc;
+        return -1;
     }
 
     for (i=0; i<len && i<pwbuflen; i++) {

However, that means we can't use an empty passwd any more, while that
may be quite useful e.g. in testing environments, so that we would need
the following patch:

diff -r 9e92672385a5 tools/ioemu/vl.c

        if ((vnc_display_port = vnc_display_open(ds, vnc_display, vncunused)) < 
0) 
            exit (0);

in order to just ignore a missing passwd.
What do people think about that?
