Generally, it's in your /etc/init.d/libvirtd script. Hey Marcela, You didn't mention which Linux distro you're using? That'll help us know which config files you'd have and so forth. :) Some thoughts: + Guessing you have root access on the "santacruz" box, so try this first with ssh just to see if it works: $ virsh -c qemu+ssh://root@santacruz/system list + If that works, and you're ok with using ssh, then you can set up your "radic" user for access to libvirt: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/SSHSetup (the libvirt.org server seems to be offline atm :( ) When that's set up, you should then be able to connect with: $ virsh -c qemu+ssh://radic@santacruz/system list + If you really want to enable the tcp connection type, rather than ssh, then you might want to turn off all authentication for it. On a RHELRHEL/Fedora/CentOS type of system this is done by setting: auth_tcp = "none" In your /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf file, then restarting the libvirt daemon. Still, that will only help once you get the tcp connection listening anyway. :) Um, that's the best I can think of for the moment. Hopefully it helps? :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift
