Somehow for sshserial we don't set permissions on ikvm|ipmi|spvm|pvm_hmc backends https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/blob/master/lib/susedistribution.pm#L460

I believe that adding chmod 666 /dev/sshserial as we do for ssh consoles on generalhw should resolve it:

serial   => 'rm -f /dev/sshserial; mkfifo /dev/sshserial; chmod 666 /dev/sshserial; while true; do cat /dev/sshserial; done',
``

So the proposal works, I've created https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/11065
We also have failure related to this issue in one of our tests.

Thanks to Rodion for the kindly help and quick response!
The issue is gone after set right permission to "/dev/sshserial" file, all tests passed

Test passed on openqa as well, close this ticket.

=========================================================

But let me record more information here, for ppc platform, the test uses ssh to login to to test machine and set ssh serial console via command "mkfifo /dev/sshserial", the default permission should be 0600, then, if we switch to non-root user, it fails to echo output to serial console, hence needed to modify the permission to 0666.
