Hi all,

When I start self-built libvirtd by "libvirtd -d -l -f libvirtd.conf", it shows that

error : virNetSocketNewListenUNIX:346 : Failed to bind socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Permission denied

I have removed some requested comments in libvirtd.conf. The key settings are shown as below:

listen_tcp = 1

tcp_port = "16509"

listen_addr = "0.0.0.0"

unix_sock_group = "root"

unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770"

unix_sock_ro_perms = "0777"

unix_sock_dir = "/var/run/libvirt"

Is there any thing wrong? Need I start libvirtd by root?

Thanks a lot!

Best Regards!

Corey
