The "passt" network back-end is entirely non-functional on distributions shipping with SELinux: the binary helper can't be executed. The 'virsh start' command reports: error: internal error: Could not start 'passt': libvirt: error : cannot execute binary /usr/bin/passt: Permission denied and the guest doesn't start. This is on Fedora 37, but it should be universally reproducible. I provided more details on the thread at: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2023-February/238096.html This is the relevant snippet from my domain XML file: <interface type='user'> <mac address='52:54:00:36:21:6f'/> <model type='virtio'/> <backend type='passt'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </interface> -- Stefano
