If I edit a guest and add <seclabel type='static' model='dac' relabel='yes'> <label>berrange:berrange</label> </seclabel> And launch it, it fails to create the QEMU monitor socket error: Failed to start domain serial error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2015-02-25T13:26:51.620498Z qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/serial.monitor,server,nowait: Failed to bind socket: Permission denied 2015-02-25T13:26:51.620608Z qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/serial.monitor,server,nowait: chardev: opening backend "socket" failed Because a process running berrange:berrange does not have write permission on the /var/lib/libvirt/qemu directory.

Changing the mode to 0751 doesn't do anything to solve that. After setting the dir to mode 0751 qemu still gets the same permission denied when creating the monitor socket as it still lacks write permission.
