Maybe this is more a packaging problem than anything else</blockquote> <div> Yes, it was, sorry... </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">, I have this here: [root@paphio ~]# rpm -qf /var/run/libvirt libvirt-0.4.1-3.fc8 [root@paphio ~]# rpm -V libvirt [root@paphio ~]# ls -ld /var/run/libvirt drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-04-04 18:00 /var/run/libvirt [root@paphio ~]# ls -l /var/run/libvirt total 0 srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-03-29 14:56 libvirt-sock srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-03-29 14:56 libvirt-sock-ro [root@paphio ~]# > One possible solution (implied in the attached patch) is the following: > > Every time libvirtd starts > * it implicitly sets the group id of /var/run/libvirt: > chown(/var/run/libvirt, -1, unix_sock_gid). > * if "unix_sock_group" defined in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf, libvirtd does > chmod g+x /var/run/libvirt > otherwise, > chmod g-x /var/run/libvirt I don't know, that's doable too, but if there is a packaging problem maybe it's good to have it fixed instead of changing permissions at runtime. But the configuration data should override this, that's true. What do others think ?
