Unless --without_firewalld was passed? Yes, that's correct. But it should be harmless - libvirtd will try calling "firewall-cmd --state", fail because it doesn't exist, then fall back to using iptable/ebtables directly. Definitely try it out and let us know if it causes any trouble though. Part of the reason of push it now is so that it can get a reasonable shakeout between now and the next release. -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
