Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] rpc: always pass "-T -e none" args to ssh

Way back in the past, the "no_tty=1" option was added for the remote driver to disable local password prompting by disabling use of the local tty: commit b32f42984994a397441a1c48f1a002e906624c51 Author: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange(a)redhat.com&gt; Date: Fri Sep 21 20:17:09 2007 +0000 Added a no_tty param to remote URIs to stop SSH prompting for password This was done by adding "-T -o BatchMode=yes -e none" args to ssh. This achieved the desired results but is none the less semantically flawed because it is mixing up config parameters for the local tty vs the remote tty. The "-T" arg stops allocation of a TTY on the remote host. This is good for all libvirt SSH tunnels as we never require a TTY for our usage model, so we should have just passed this unconditionally. The "-e none" option disables the escape character for sessions with a TTY. If we pass "-T" this is not required, but it also not harmful to add it, so we should just pass it unconditionally too. Only the "-o BatchMode=yes" option is related to disabling local password prompts and thus needs control via the no_tty URI param. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
