Virtualization with KVM and virt-manager 1

[Hexes]

Good day all,

I have a small project going to manage a few servers running fedora 16 and hosting kvm Virtual machines.
The nice thing is virt-manager lets me manage as many servers as I want from one server but every time I connect to a server using ssh in virt-manager I need to type a password and every time I open a VM I need to type a password and if you have lets say 4 server connections set up in virt-manager to auto connect you get a ton of enter your password windows popping up.

I really want to find a way to only have to type the password when I add the server and get rid of the having to type a server password to connect to a VM.
All the servers have the same password and root access.

So is there a good way to set this up with minimum password input or am I doomed to retype the password a wapping 63 times to ma 8 vms across 4 servers

I suggest you investigate using secure keys in ssh

This will remove the need for any passwords and increase security.
