We'll see... :) As far as I know, on OSX people mainly use virsh. eg for connecting to libvirt on Linux/BSD/whatever hosts. So libvirtd support may or may not have been working for a while. I don't know, as I only tested virsh when updating the recent Homebrew port. ;) But last night I had the realisation that libvirtd itself might work too since it functions on the other BSD's. So, took a few minutes to try it out. Without QEMU installed, libvirtd doesn't error out like the above. That only happens when QEMU is around. So, it's related to that somehow. :) Yeah, completely reliable. One other weirdness showed up too, probably not related though. Without QEMU installed, when starting up libvirtd with -l enabled (for listening), it exists complaining about missing cert file. That in itself is not surprising... except it happens even when TLS is disabled is in libvirtd.conf. According to the wiki, turning off listen_tls + turning on listen_tcp should stop the need for cert files: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/The_daemon_cannot_be_started Does that sound like a bug too, or more like the wiki is out of date? :) + Justin
