Hi,
I'm trying to list physical interface of a remote tcp host via the C
API and it fails. I have tried to use virsh iface-list in remote TCP
connection and it fails also. I have trying on the libvirt host with
my normal account and it fails also, but when I connect under root
account on the libvirt host, iface-list works. Any clue ?
When you run virsh locally as non-root, it connects to qemu://session,
which doesn't have root privileges, and the iface-* commands won't work
(because netcf requires root to run). If you run virsh as root, you will
be connected to qemu://system, which has root, and iface-* will work.
The failure to work when connecting to a remote libvirtd is puzzling,
though.
