Yeah, that applies to SLES11, but not for openSUSE since 11.2 or so. I created a comment about this outdated info as per the feedback instructions in "About This Manual". > Has polkit-auth a replacement in 12.2? > polkit-auth is part of the PolicyKit package, which was replaced with polkit in openSUSE long ago. Better documentation for using polkit is here http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/SSHPolicyKitSetup > For my own testing with libguestfs all it takes is to add the user to the > group 'kvm' for the attach-method 'libvirt', so I dont really need > polkit-auth. > Your normal user can do stuff like 'virsh -c qemu+ssh:///system' without configuring polkit as per the libvirt wiki? On my 12.2 machine, I must add the following to authenticate to the system URI (even when user jfehlig is a member of libvirt, kvm, and qemu groups) # cat /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/50-libvirt-remote-access.pkla [Remote libvirt SSH access] Identity=unix-user:jfehlig Action=org.libvirt.unix.manage ResultAny=yes ResultInactive=yes ResultActive=yes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscr...@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+ow...@opensuse.org
