Hi,<br><br>Non-root can&#39;t use /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock even in the case<br>&quot;unix_sock_group&quot; and &quot;unix_sock_rw_perms&quot; are set properly.<br><br>The reason:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; # ls -l /var/run /var/run/libvirt | grep libvirt | grep -v pid<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; drwx------ 2 root root &nbsp; 4096 Apr 14 19:14 libvirt<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; srwxrwx--- 1 root libvirt 0 Apr 14 19:14 libvirt-sock<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; srwxrwxrwx 1 root libvirt 0 Apr 14 19:14 libvirt-sock-ro<br><br>
i.e., bad permissions on /var/run/libvirt<br><br>One possible solution (implied in the attached patch) is the following:<br><br>Every time libvirtd starts<br>* it implicitly sets the group id of /var/run/libvirt:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; chown(/var/run/libvirt, -1, unix_sock_gid).<br>
* if &quot;unix_sock_group&quot; defined in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf, libvirtd does<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; chmod g+x /var/run/libvirt<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; otherwise,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; chmod g-x /var/run/libvirt<br><br>A.
