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.

Good to know. I was following the examples from the documentation, such
as:
virsh --connect qemu+ssh://root@example.com/system
from https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/FAQ
virt-viewer --direct --connect qemu+ssh://root@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.
