This is really an excellent post. I have questions on KVM networking for quite a while. Relating to this, my questions are: I want all users in the kvm group can start kvm and have network access. Does this require different setting than your previous answer? > I have a public bridge setup on Debian for KVM VMs. I have network > access via Ethernet, using interface 'eth0'.

(please give full file, not just some segments) Having restarted networking, do I now need to use br0 instead of eth0 for all primary network interface? E.g., instead of, xnetload -if eth0 I now need to say xnetload -if br0 ? That seems quite a big change to me. Will all exiting networking tools know not to use eth0 as the primary network interface any more automatically? > . . . > In this case, I run my VM as the user 'jon'. This is reflected in the > '-u jon' argument to tunctl. In this case, can other people in the kvm group use br0 as well?
