  Hi,

  I'm trying to list physical interface of a
remote tcp host via the C API and it fails. I have tried to use virsh
iface-list in remote TCP connection and it fails also. I have trying on
the libvirt host with my normal account and it fails also, but when I
connect under root account on the libvirt host, iface-list works. Any
clue ?

When you run virsh locally as non-root, it connects to qemu://session,
which doesn't have root privileges, and the iface-* commands won't work
(because netcf requires root to run). If you run virsh as root, you
will be connected to qemu://system, which has root, and iface-* will
work.

The failure to work when connecting to a remote libvirtd is puzzling,
though.
