Re: [libvirt] libvirt 0.3.3 and unix_sock_group
Thanks for getting back to me. The permissions on that directory look ok to me, see below (cadc is the group specified in my libvirtd.conf). Which leads me to think it could be something else. labro...@proc5-09$ ls -la /var/run/libvirt total 16 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 15 03:25 . drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Apr 15 04:02 .. srwxrwx--- 1 root cadc0 Apr 15 03:25 libvirt-sock srwxrwxrwx 1 root cadc0 Apr 15 03:25 libvirt-sock-ro labro...@proc5-09$ ls -l /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock srwxrwx--- 1 root cadc 0 Apr 15 03:25 /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock It seems as if its xen causing the issue (although i cannot see any issues in the logs).

[libvirt] libvirt 0.3.3 and unix_sock_group
Hi All, I've been using libvirt 0..4.4 for a few weeks now. I have unix_sock_group = mygroup set so that i can perform non-root management capabilities on the host. I have recently installed a new host running Scientific Linux 5.3 and libvirt 0.3.3 comes as default. First off, there is no libvirtd.conf file included with 0.3.3, so I copied the file from libvirt 0.4.4 (which is running on my Fedora 8 box). I am still unable to get non-root management capabilities (i.e virsh create etc) after a restart of libvirtd. Is this feature supported in libvirt 0.3.3? Perhaps the file format is different between versions and hence unix_sock_group isnt being read correctly? hope you can help. thanks Daniel -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
