We currently refuse to connect to remote libvirtd over SSH if we see the path ends in /session. Earlier on though we checked for /session and set the VIR_DRV_OPEN_REMOTE_USER flag. There is one subtle distinction though with the test driver. All test URIs are marked with this flag, regardless of whether the URI indicates a local or remote connection. Previously a local connection to the test driver would have used the unprivileged libvirtd while a remote connection would have tried the privileged libvirtd. With this we are consistent and use the unprivileged for both local & remote, if the current user is non-root. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
