Make sure you're running as root (real root) on your local machine. (``su -'' should work.) After that, run virt-manager and, since it's already working for you, configure the connection to use xen+ssh. On the remote side, at least to get it up and running, ensure that PasswordAuthentication and PermitRootLogin are turned on for SSH and that you don't have any funny business going on in root's authorized_keys (forced commands come to mind.) After that, it *should* work. If it doesn't, check your audit log and see what SELinux is doing with SSH. Also, you can run virt-manager in a terminal on the local side so you can check the output. You may get X11 authentication errors, but probably only if you're not running as root locally. -- Christopher G.
