Currently we request a login shell by passing the -l argument
to the shell. This is either hardcoded, or required to be
specified by the user in the virt-login-shell.conf file.
The standard way for login programs to request a shell run
as a login shell is to modify the argv passed to execve()
so that argv[0] contains the relative shell filename
prefixed with a zero. eg instead of doing
const char **shellargs = ["/bin/bash", "-l", NULL];
execve(shellargs[0], shellargs, env);
We should be doing
const char **shellargs = ["-bash", NULL];
execve("/bin/bash", shellargs, env);

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
