I think it whould be interesting to point that phyp uses ssh internally, so phyp+ssh would be redundant.

Actually, in the entire phyp URI is mandatory, the correct way should be:
phyp://username@{hmc|ivm}/managed_system
Or are you assuming that the username can be used from environment variable like in ssh?
username SHOULD be optional (and default to the current user, as in ssh); if the code doesn't do that, you are welcome to write a patch. At any rate, I've pushed this, as partial documentation is better than no documentation. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
