Some questions which seem to be left ambigious by the documentation

(1) For a single open, can this be called multiple times? I'm
thinking, some authentication methods might give the user N attempts
at typing the password, which might result in N callbacks here.
Testing and reviewing the libssh2 backend, it seems this
must be true (ie. N >= 1).
BTW I cannot get the libssh2 backend in libvirt to work. For
every host it says:
libvirt_auth.c: authentication required for libvirt URI
'qemu+libssh2://localhost/system'
libvirt_auth.c: credential 'echoprompt'
Accept SSH host key with hash '<correct host key>' for host
'localhost:22' (y/n)?: y
libguestfs: error: could not connect to libvirt (code 85, domain 50): SSH transport
error: SSH host key for 'localhost' (<correct host key>) was not accepted
No idea what I'm doing wrong. Nothing in the logs on the server
indicate that anything is wrong on the remote side.
