[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#667636: virt-manager qemu+ssh connects with wrong user

[Stefan Pietsch]

Package: python-libvirt
Version: 0.9.11-1
Severity: normal

After updating python-libvirt and libvirt0 from 0.9.9-3 to 0.9.11-1 the
virt-manager connection with qemu+ssh fails.

---

Example:

$ virt-manager -c qemu+ssh://root@192.168.20.37/system


Unable to connect to libvirt.

Cannot recv data: Permission denied (publickey).
: Connection reset by peer

Verify that the 'libvirtd' daemon is running
on the remote host.

Libvirt URI is: qemu+ssh://root@192.168.20.37/system

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1185,
in _open_thread
    self.vmm = self._try_open()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1167,

    flags)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 102, in

    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirtError: Cannot recv data: Permission denied (publickey).
: Connection reset by peer

The SSH connection uses my login name on the local machine instead of
the user "root" as in the qemu+ssh URI.

On the server we see in the auth.log:
sshd[19002]: Invalid user stefan from 192.168.20.101
