Ohh... ok... it's not really what I want (because I could have many
different machines to configure).
Reading to libvirt sources (the c file) it seams that auth callbacks
should be used also for the ssh code (inside openSSHSession method):

virConnectCredential creds[] = {
            {VIR_CRED_PASSPHRASE, "password", "Password", NULL, NULL,
0},
        };

        if (!auth || !auth->cb) {
            PHYP_ERROR(conn, VIR_ERR_AUTH_FAILED,
                       "%s", _("No authentication callback provided."));
            goto disconnect;
        }

maybe in some way it's possible to use ssh too with auth (I don't know
but I want to try).

Anyway, Matt, if I expose libvirt over tcp can I use it directly with
provided callbacks?

Thanks a lot
Bye
Marco
