Commit 4bbe1029f fixed a problem in commit f7afeddc by moving the call to virNetDevGetIndex() to a location common to all interface types (so that the niceindex array would be filled in for macvtap as well as tap interfaces), but the location was *too* common, as the original call to virNetDevGetIndex() had been in a section qualified by "if (cfg->privileged)". The result was that the "fixed" libvirtd would try to call virNetDevGetIndex() even for session mode libvirtd, and end up failing with the log message:
Unable to open control socket: Operation not permitted
To remedy that, this patch qualifies the call to virNetDevGetIndex() in its new location with cfg->privileged.

If someone (Rich?) needs this pushed before I am awake, please feel free to push it. (also push to the 1.2.13-maint branch if you do)

Looks sensible, ACK. As Laine says, please make sure this gets into 1.2.13-maint because it currently affects all 1.2.13 / Rawhide users. Also, why isn't there a regression test that would have picked this up? A trivial reproducer is: $ guestfish -a /dev/null --network run but any test case that launches a guest with a network interface as non-root would have caught this.
