There is a minor bug when running QEMU non-root, and having
capng enabled. libvirt is unable to write the PID file in
/var/run/libvirt/qemu, since its now owned by 'qemu', but
libvirtd has dropped all capabilties at this point. The fix
is to delay dropping capabilities until after the PID file
has been created. We should also be sure to kill the child
if writing the PID file fails

Fix problem writing QEMU pidfile
* src/util.c: Don't drop capabilities until after the PID file has
been written. Kill off child if writing the PID file fails
* src/qemu_driver.c: Remove bogus trailing '/' in state dir

minor nitpick I would error first and then do the kill

I haven't looked into it much yet, but don't we need to open up the
permissions on /var/lib/libvirt/images now? At least from 700 to 711 so
qemu can open images?
Cheers,

Hmm, that's a good point, we definitely need to do that. 711 shoudl be
good because that lets us chmod the individual imagges to allow QEMU
user to open them, while not allowing people to list the contents of
the directory

Daniel

Okay, committing this.

Allow qemu user to open images in this dir, but still prevent others
from listing it.
