Yes - I'm not getting into the console of the VM at all, and the prompt is for "root@remote_system", not the VM hostname / IP. > Also, by adding my normal user on the host system to the libvirt group, > it's not necessary to ssh as root - I can just use my normal user.

I was following the examples from the documentation, such as: virsh --connect qemu+ssh://r...@example.com/system from https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/FAQ virt-viewer --direct --connect qemu+ssh://r...@example.org/ guest-name from https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/virtualization_deployment_and_administration_guide/chap-graphic_user_interface_tools_for_guest_virtual_machine_management But I'll have to look into just adding a user to the libvirt group on the host and logging in as that user. > Oh, and I assume the doubled '-c' is a typo :-) Yes, sorry. > Cheers, > Richard Celejar
