This patch adds URI options to support libssh2 transport in the remote
driver.
A new transport sceme is introduced eg. "qemu+libssh2://..." that
utilizes the libssh2 code added in previous patches.
The libssh2 code requires the authentication callback to be able to
perform keyboard-interactive authentication or to ask t passprhases or
add host keys to known hosts database.
Added URI components:
- known_hosts - path to a knownHosts file in OpenSSH format to check
for known ssh host keys
- known_hosts_verify - how to deal with server key verification:
* "normal" (default) - ask to add new keys
* "auto" - automaticaly add new keys
* "ignore" - don't validate host keys
- sshauth - authentication methods to use. Default is
"agent,privkey,keyboard-interactive". It's a comma separated
string of methods to try while authenticating. The order is
preserved. Some of the methods may require additional
parameters.
Locations of the known_hosts file and private keys are set to default
values if they're present. (~/.ssh/known_hosts, ~/.ssh/id_rsa,
~/.ssh/id_dsa)
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
