Hi,

Just noticed the following two projects:
https://github.com/rackspace/openstack-guest-agents-windows-xenserver
https://github.com/rackspace/openstack-guest-agents-unix

Would those be useful in creating an agent like Vish described?
It seems they currently only support Xen? Haven't taken a deep look yet.

Was wondering if it's planned for Grizzly a way to change the password for
libvirt/kvm guests (unix and windows)?
Is there any blueprint available?
