I would like to get some ideas and opinions on matter of libvirt netfilter application in KVM environment. I am looking for some easy way to control it with an API and possible experience with that and its performance in real life application.

VIRT-LOGIN-SHELL(1) Virtualization Support VIRT-LOGIN-SHELL(1)NAME
virt-login-shell - tool to execute a shell within a container matching the users name
SYNOPSIS
virt-login-shell
DESCRIPTION
The virt-login-shell program is a setuid shell that is used to join an LXC container that matches the user's name. If the container is not
running, virt-login-shell will attempt to start the container. virt-sandbox-shell is not allowed to be run by root. Normal users will get
added to a container that matches their username, if it exists, and they are configured in /etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf.
The basic structure of most virt-login-shell usage is:
virt-login-shell
OPTIONS -h, --help
Display command line help usage then exit.
-V, --version
Display version information then exit.
CONFIG
By default, virt-login-shell will execute the /bin/sh program for the user. You can modify this behaviour by defining the shell variable
in /etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf.
eg. shell = [ "/bin/ksh", "--login"]
By default no users are allowed to use virt-login-shell, if you want to allow certain users to use virt-login-shell, you need to modify the
allowed_users variable in /etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf.
eg. allowed_users = [ "tom", "dick", "harry" ]
