Description Dominik Drazyk 2012-05-02 08:27:46 UTC 
Description of problem:
When I try to connect to kvm host as root through ssh (root@remote-server), virt-manager connects as current local user.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.9.1-3.fc17

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add a new ssh connection with remote host, KVM as hypervisor and root as a remote user (you can use existing connection next time)
2.Click connect
  
Actual results:
Virt-manager tries to connect as current local user not root.

Expected results:
Virt-manager connects to remote server as root.
