=head1 NAME
virt-login-shell - tool to execute a shell within a container matching the users name
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<virt-login-shell>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<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-login-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
=head1 OPTIONS

=head1 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" ]
