[libvirt-users] RHEL 5 libvirt client - QEMU+SSH fails with "login authentication type 2" problem

Hi, I have RHEL5 libvirt client compiled at ${BSPACE}/usrcisco This client when connecting to a libvirtd/server fails to connect as follows -bash-3.2$ ${BSPACE}/usrcisco/bin/virsh -c qemu+ssh://sarvi@cnh-nehalem-1/system?socket=/var//run/libvirt/libvirt-sock error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: authentication failed: unsupported authentication type 2 I have the libvirt client compiled and installed as follows PYTHON=${BSPACE}/usrcisco/bin/python LDFLAGS="-L${BSPACE}/libnl-1.1.2/lib/ -L${BSPACE}/device-mapper.1.02.28/lib/ioctl/" CFLAGS="-I${BSPACE}/libnl-1.1.2/include -I${BSPACE}/device-mapper.1.02.28/include/" CPPFLAGS="-I${BSPACE}/device-mapper.1.02.28/include/ -I${BSPACE}/libnl-1.1.2/include" ./configure --prefix=${BSPACE}/usrcisco --enable-static --with-libvirtd=no --with-hal=no --with-python --with-PACKAGE=yes --with-packager=no --with-packager-version=no --with-gnu-ld=no --with-apparmor=no --with-apparmor-mount=no--with-attr=no --with-audit=no --with-avahi=no --with-blkid=no --with-capng=no --with-curl=no --with-dbus=no --with-fuse=no --with-hal=no --with-netcf=no --with-numactl=no --with-openwsman=no --with-pciaccess=no --with-sanlock=no --with-sasl=no --with-selinux=no --with-selinux-mount=no --with-udev=no --with-yajl=no --with-xen=no --with-xen-inotify=no --with-qemu=no --with-uml=no --with-openvz=no--with-vmware=no --with-phyp=no --with-xenapi=no --with-libxl=no --with-vbox=no --with-gnutls=no --without-ssh2 --with-rhel5-api=yes The same library sources when compiled on RHEL6 as above, without specifying the "--with-rhel5-api=yes" compiles AND connect to the same server fine I am looking for pointers as to what the problem could be OR how to trouble shoot the problem. Thanks, Sarvi
