RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 11 zhoujunqin 2014-07-22 07:04:40 UTC 
I can reproduce with package: virt-viewer-0.5.7-7.el7.x86_64
and verified with latest build: virt-viewer-0.6.0-1.el7.x86_64

steps:
1. Check remote-viewer manual and help, found --direct neither in help nor in manual.

# remote-viewer --help
Note: There is no string like following exists in help.
-d, --direct                                                      Direct connection with no automatic tunnels

2. The Copyright has been updated in virt-viewer man page.
# man virt-viewer
...

3. Punctuation added before "The viewer can connect..".
# man virt-viewer
...
connect to the console.  The viewer
       can connect to remote hosts to lookup the console information and then also connect to the remote console using the same
       network transport.
...

4. About Comment 2, i found string has been changed from "is" to "it".
...
then the viewer can be told to wait until it starts before attempting to connect to the console.
