Doesn't this require setting installing an ssh server on your machine? 
openssh-server doesn't seem to be installed/enabled by default on many 
(most?) distros, including Fedora.

In addition doesn't this only work when you ssh as root to the box that 
the libvirtd instance is running on? I couldn't get this working with my 
user account and a qemu-ssh uri. I'm probably missing something ...

Okay, good to know.
