The filtering access part of this daemon is also not mapping well onto

already, and intend adding role based access control to further filter
things, integrating with the existing apparmour/selinux security models.
A qemud that filters based on UID only, gives users a side-channel to
get
around libvirt's access control.
That's true. Any time you write a multiplexer these issues crop up.
Much better to stay in single process land where everything is already
taken care of.
What does a multiplexer give you that making individual qemu instances
discoverable doesn't give you? The later doesn't suffer from these
problems.

So, at best qemud is a toy for people who are annoyed by libvirt.
