[Users] guest agent

[Vinzenz Feenstra]

hi,

I am currently in the process of preparing the ovirt-guest-agent for F17 
package review, so it can be included in the distribution.
In the meantime you can use the repository as mentioned by Jason.

The qemu-guest-agent is not the same thing. The qemu guest agent comes 
with just a little of the features the ovirt-guest-agent currently 
provides, even though they are duplicating features, such as hibernation 
(S3,S4) support and things like shutdown initiated by the OS through the 
respective guest agent.

The ovirt-guest-agent is providing also additional information to the 
web admin portal, such as current IP, logged in user, memory consumption 
etc.
Also it provides the ability to implement a feature called 'Single Sign 
On' so that you can enter your user/password combination only once in 
the user portal login and once you have opened the guest os spice 
session you get automatically logged in to the guest system.

HTH,
