Hi,

When issuing virDomainInterfaceAddresses() libvirt C language API, I got following error:

libvirt: Domain Config error : operation forbidden: read only access prevents virDomainInterfaceAddresses

Interesting. Why is that? I mean, why do we require RW connection for dumping an information? We don't do that for virDomainGetXMLDesc(). I think that a bug that should be fixed. Let me propose a patch.

How may I ask for a non-readonly connexion ? ( looks like to be RO by default)

Either use virConnectOpen() or virConnectOpenAuth() and do NOT pass VIR_CONNECT_RO in the @flags. Michal
