I use usbauth to protect the host, and I seem to remember having trouble coercing libvirt to pass a usb device with untrusted interfaces (or maybe libvirt could only forward usb interfaces?). So I resorted to usbip, which allowed me to forward a usb device with no trusted interfaces. My biggest complaint is that there was no way to have usbip communicate over a domain socket (or better still, stdin/stdout). Then again, it's right there in the name, so can I really complain about that? I found forwarding ports to be "clunky", but I'm pretty sure a lot of other people would have found redirecting unix pipes to be clunky to them. To each their own, I suppose. I otherwise found it delightfully simple and effective. Antonio
