[libvirt] [PATCH v2 2/2] libssh_transport: add new libssh-based transport

Pino Toscano ptoscano at redhat.com
Mon Oct 17 14:24:53 UTC 2016


Implement a new libssh transport, which uses libssh to communicate with
remote hosts, and use it in virNetSockets.

This new transport supports all the common ssh authentication methods,
making use of libvirt's auth callbacks for interaction with the user.

Most of the functionalities and implementation are based on the libssh2
transport.
