Michael, The reason I feel that this change is necessary is make the initial setup process for the first time user easier. Today, I was helping a student that was trying to get Tashi up and running. The configuration file (TashiDefaults) has "clustermanger" for about nine different config options, (some for usernames, some for a password, and for hosts). I realize this is an example config file and local changes should be done on your local version. However, the defaults, having the same name for multiple options can be confusing. By setting the "host = localhost", the default config file will allow Tashi to startup without issues or modification (on a single machine setup anyways). If you don't like the change, then I propose to make each example option more descriptive(e.g., username = clustermanagerusername, password = clustermanagerpassword, host = clustermanagerhostnameorip, or something similar) as to not confuse the excited first time user that just wants to get Tashi up and running. (It took me a few minutes to figure out what was going on...). We should also update the documentation on the website and explicitly say to check the hostname in the config file.
Do we take a poll on this change or what? Also, I think we should change "vmm = Tashi.nodemanager.vmcontrol.Qemu" in both TashiDefaults.cfg and NodeManager.cfg since one is currently set to Qemu and the other is set to Xen.
