[PATCH 14/15] virNetLibsshAuthenticatePassword: Use virAuthAskPassword instead of virAuthGetPasswordPath

Tue Jan 17 16:20:39 UTC 2023


virAuthGetPasswordPath can return the same password over and over if
it's configured in the config. We rather want to try that only the first
time and then ask the user instead.
