Hi there, >>> When I try a "qemu+ssh" remote virsh connection evething works fine. >>> But then I try the same URL using virt-manager, and then try to open >>> a guest console, virt-manager prompts multiple times for a ssh login >>> password. >>> >>> Is this a bug? >> Each console rquires that we setup a new SSH tunnel, since every >> console is on a different socket on the remote host and we don't >> know them all ahead of time. So far, that's expected, but it should require only one password prompt for each console. > This is particularly bad with spice, which wants multiple fds for each channel > (display, audio, usb redirection, a few others).

While now I understand why all those password prompts, that's very bad from a usability perspective. And I guess it's also bad from a network perspective (having multiple TCP connections for the same interative remote user session). Couln't all SPICE channels be multiplexed on the same TCP connection, and so use the same SSH connection?
