Just to add a little context to what Shantan has been trying to do.
We have libvirt 1.0 from standard fedora RPMs on a few standard Fedora 17
servers used as virtualization hosts
[root@cnh-nehalem-1 ~]# libvirtd --version
libvirtd (libvirt) 1.0.0
We are able to use virsh from these standard installs to connect between
servers through
virsh -c qemu+ssh://sarvi@libvirthost/system
This has been working.
What we are now trying to do is to
1. compile a slightly newer libvirt-1.0.2 on of these servers
2. Install them into a non standard location like
./configure --prefix=/users/sarvi/nonstddir
3. This compiles and installs fine.
4. Just start plain virsh works fine.
5. Using this virsh to connect to one of the other existing servers
using the following fails with an error.
/users/sarvi/nonstddir/bin/virsh -c
qemu+ssh://sarvi@libivirthost/system
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: End of file while reading data: Input/output error
We are looking for some pointers on what the problem might be how to go
about troubleshooting this problem.
Thanks,
Sarvi

Peter, Thanks for the reply. Just to let you know turning off TLS did
not
solve the issue for me. I have netcat and the user I am trying to login to
virsh console does have privileges to create socket. Enabling debug while
I try to login using QEMU+SSH, I get prompted for my password and get the
following debugs. The error message "Failed to connect to the hypervisor"
looks a little suspicious. The same uri with a prebuilt virsh binary, does
not have any issues connecting. Any thoughts?
