Haven't gotten to that part yet.. :-)

Right now, I'm trying to do a simple tcp connect on my fedora 7 box
to my fedora 7 box (with 0.3.2). I'm not sure why the following is
not working?  Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

[root at fedora ~]# cat /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
listen_tcp=1
tcp_port="16509"
root at fedora ~]# /etc/init.d/libvirtd stop
Stopping libvirtd daemon:                                  [  OK  ]
[root at fedora ~]# /etc/init.d/libvirtd start
Starting libvirtd daemon:                                  [  OK  ]
[root at fedora ~]# virsh connect xen+tcp://localhost
libvir: Remote error : Connection refused
error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor
[root at fedora ~]# virsh list --all
