Hi, Yes I know that, and I use the fedora 12 distro, with netcf support and libvirt rpm are compiled with netcf support. That's why it works when I am root, but only when I am root -------------------------------------------------- From: "Matthias Bolte" <matthias.bolte@googlemail.com> Sent: Monday, April 19, 2010 11:08 PM To: "Dev.Atom" <arnaud.champion@devatom.fr> Cc: <libvir-list@redhat.com> Subject: Re: [libvirt] iface-list command in virsh

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 ?
The current interface driver used in combination with libvirtd is nefcf [1] based. If your libvirt is compiled without netcf then there will be no interface support for QEMU, Xen and so on.
You'll also need to have a distro (e.g. Fedora) that supports netcf or is supported by netcf, because netcf handles the interface configuration files and those are in different locations of have other distro dependent differences.
