From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange at redhat.com>

Running libvirtd unprivileged results in a warning message from
the NWFilter driver

  virNWFilterSnoopLeaseFileRefresh:1882 : open("/var/run/libvirt/network/nwfilter.ltmp"): No such file or directory

Since it requires privileged network access, this driver should
not even run when unprivileged.
