Subject: [PATCH] input-xen: sync "-ip" limitations language from input-vmware
|
|
manual
|
|
|
|
My analysis in <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1854275#c33>
|
|
was partially wrong; I had missed that for the xen+ssh transport, the
|
|
client-side libvirt library launches a naked "ssh" utility, underneath
|
|
"Libvirt.Connect.connect_auth":
|
|
|
|
setup [input/input_xen_ssh.ml]
|
|
Libvirt.Connect.connect_auth
|
|
no effect of "-ip"
|
|
Nbdkit_ssh.create_ssh [input/nbdkit_ssh.ml]
|
|
starts nbdkit with the ssh
|
|
plugin honoring "-ip"
|
|
|
|
Which requires a password just the same, and ignores "-ip" just the same.
|
|
|
|
Recommend the ssh agent in the docs.
