Matthias, Excellent! Now up and running. I believe the crucial element was listen_tls = 0 Once again, thank you very much for your help...

Requesting urgent assistance if I may?
Attempting to connect to an Ubuntu machine using an MinMG compiled virsh on a Windows Vista machine. Using insecure TCP simply to prove a concept to a client. However, cannot connect; situation as follows:
Edited /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf as follows: listen_tcp = 1 auth_tcp = "none"
Edited /etc/default//libvirt-bin as follows: libvirt-opts="-d -l"
Did you restart libvirtd after the changes and checked that it's started successfully? listen_tls defaults to 1 in /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf, in combination with the -l flag (short for --listen) libvirtd requires properly configured SSL certificates. If libvirtd can't find the certificates or fails to validate them then it won't start up. You can disable TLS in /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf by setting listen_tls = 0 and restart libvirtd.
Running virsh on Vista client fails as follows: $ virsh -c qemu+tcp://192.168.1.101/system error: unable to connect to libvirtd at '192.168.1.101': errno=10061 error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
Running virsh on Ubuntu server fails as follows: $ virsh -c qemu+tcp:///system Connecting to uri: qemu+tcp:///system error: unable to connect to libvirtd at 'localhost': Connection refused error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
Once libvirtd is running and configured properly for TCP transport then remote and local TCP access to libvirtd works for me.
Indeed, with libvirt-opts="-d -l" in etc/default//libvirt-bin the 'default' command also fails: $ virsh -c qemu:///system Connecting to uri: qemu:///system error: unable to connect to 'var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Connection refused error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
Local access to libvirtd using qemu:///system requires properly configured polkit, or running virsh as root. This is independent from the -d and -l flags.
