Hi All,
I've been using libvirt 0..4.4 for a few weeks now. I have
unix_sock_group = "mygroup" set so that i can perform non-root
management capabilities on the host.
I have recently installed a new host running Scientific Linux 5.3 and
libvirt 0.3.3 comes as default. First off, there is no libvirtd.conf
file included with 0.3.3, so I copied the file from libvirt 0.4.4 (which
is running on my Fedora 8 box).
The 'unix_sock_group' config param *is* supported in 0.3.3, but the
libvirtd daemon will not change the group ownership in the directory
/var/run/libvirt where the socket is created. So you almost certainly
won't be able to access the socket itself. You could try chgrp'ing the
directory. A good test is to make sure you can access the socket as
non-root, eg
ls -l /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
