[Planetlab-devel] Re: new PLC API

[David E. Eisenstat]

The blob needs to be passed as the sole argument to a call made to 
Ticket() on NM's XMLRPC server, running on port 812. Since NM is running 
entirely in root context now, I've opted for security reasons to expose 
this server only to local connections. As an alternative to maintaining a 
slice everywhere, there is mechanism for creating accounts that act as ssh 
tunnels, though I'm not sure whether PLC exposes this yet.
