Description Jonathan Steffan 2011-10-12 19:03:10 UTC
Description of problem:
When doing password based authentication to a remote libvirtd node via SSH, openssh-askpass is required to be installed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.8.7-6.fc15.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run virt-manager
2. Add a connection Qemu/KVM+SSH
3. Try connecting to node
  
Actual results:
cannot recv data: ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory

Permission denied, please try again.

ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory

Permission denied, please try again.

ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory

Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).

Expected results:
User is prompted for password.

Additional info:

Installation of openssh-askpass solves this issue.

Comment 1 Cole Robinson 2011-10-13 17:36:25 UTC
virt-manager does not strictly require installing ssh-askpass to function, it's only one use case that requires it. Most users infact don't use remote connections whatsoever, so having a hard requirement on askpass will do them a disservice. If RPM had a 'suggests' or similar mechanism we would use that.
