I *think* the best place to report these bugs is at bugzilla.redhat.com, 
Classification "Other", Product "Virtualization Tools", component 
"libvirt". You could first try sending a message to 
libvirt-users at redhat.com or libvir-list at redhat.com (the developers' 
list) to see if it's a known problem though.

I'm not familiar with that part of the code, but it looks like the cert 
check happens if listen_tls = 1, which is its default value. You can 
disable it by uncommenting listen_tls=0 in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf. 
I'm not sure what undesired effects that will have on your system's 
operation.

I'm Cc'ing this response to libvir-list. It's very likely a known 
problem that I just didn't notice, and someone there will know about it.

Seriously? I was at MSU from 1981-1985. I'm guessing a lot has changed since then...
