Here are the results of a test where I just made unix_sock_group the same group as an unprivileged test user: libvirtd.conf changes: unix_sock_group = "testu" unix_sock_ro_perms = "0777" [root@kvm ~]# service libvirtd restart Stopping libvirtd daemon: [ OK ] Starting libvirtd daemon: [ OK ] [root@kvm ~]# ls -l /var/run/libvirt total 16 srwx------ 1 root testu 0 Mar 11 15:03 libvirt-sock srwxrwxrwx 1 root testu 0 Mar 11 15:03 libvirt-sock-ro drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 8 13:05 network drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 11 15:00 qemu (no changes to qemu.
