From: "Daniel P.

This prevents /var/run/libvirt being readable by non-root, which is required for non-root to connect to libvirtd. Fix the code so that umask 077 is only used for the non-privileged libvirtd instance. --- daemon/libvirtd.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/daemon/libvirtd.c b/daemon/libvirtd.c index de6c96e..c1ee3f4 100644 --- a/daemon/libvirtd.c +++ b/daemon/libvirtd.c @@ -1131,7 +1131,10 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) { goto cleanup; } - old_umask = umask(077); + if (privileged) + old_umask = umask(022); + else + old_umask = umask(077); if (virFileMakePath(run_dir) < 0) { char ebuf[1024]; VIR_ERROR(_("unable to create rundir %s: %s"), run_dir, -- 1.7.10.2
