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).
