From 67fcf66904c7f1f6da858eba35e95dad670427c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Richard W.M. Jones" Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2024 14:16:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs: Remove paragraph about -ip passwords and ssh/scp The documentation suggested (correctly) that the -ip option did not cover all cases where we make an ssh connection to either VMware or Xen. However with the recent change where we use nbdkit-ssh-plugin in preference to ssh/scp (commit fb72e05986, "virt-v2v: -i vmx: Replace external ssh/scp with nbdkit-ssh-plugin") this should no longer be true for VMware. And I don't think it was true for Xen for a while. Therefore remove this paragraph in the documentation (in two places).
