[PATCH 4/5] manpages: Remove reference to a session daemon for libxl

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The libxl driver has no session daemon therefore its split daemon
(virtxend) has to be ran as root. Any attempt to start it with
euid != 0 fails. This is why the daemon does not look under any
of XDG_* paths either.
