Change subject: Add PolicyKit support to access libvirt
......................................................................


Patch Set 1: (1 inline comment)

> wouldn't it let local admin in by default? Do we want that?

Let's discuss it. I'm not very happy to modify the libvirt configuration
(several changes) and add a password just to lock out the user.
When on the other hand we can ditch the burden to maintain the libvirtd.conf
and also avoid to confuse the user.
(I know anything could mess with the vm's but "UNIX was not designed to
stop its users from doing stupid things, as that would also stop them from
doing clever things" :-).

Anyway I'm all for keeping it downstream though, where the sysadmin
(ovirt-engine) will have a tool to run (vdsm-tool libvirt-reconfigure?)
to accomplish that.

> I suppose auth_unix_rw should be set to "polkit" if we take this patch.

No, that's the default already.

....................................................
File vdsm.spec.in
Line 4: %global _polkit_path 
%{_localstatedir}/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d
that's taken exactly from the polkit package. it's /var/lib though.
