--- Comment #3 from Charles Arnold
... btw. Why vm-install needs root anyway? It doesn't use libvirt?
For installing Xen guests, vm-install communicates directly with the Xen toolstack. It has done this since before libvirt developed code to use policykit to allow non-root users to install guests. For KVM, vm-install uses libvirt but there is still code that 'touches' root owned locations. Vm-install could be updated to strictly use libvirt and leverage its policykit features but that would feature request :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
