Bug 1715835

Description of problem:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_container_development_kit/3.8/html-single/getting_started_guide/index#for-linux

1.3.2.1. Setting Up the KVM Driver

instructions should be reviewed for accuracy

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

current

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow  1.3.2.1. Setting Up the KVM Driver
2.
3.

Actual results:

Target user does not have new group (libvirt)

Expected results:

Target user with new group permissions

Additional info:

The specific issue I identified was:

3. As root, add yourself to the libvirt group:

# usermod -a -G libvirt $(whoami)

4. Update your current session to apply the group change:

$ newgrp libvirt

This doesn't work since whoami would return "root".  Thus, the usermod command would add "root" user to the "libvirt" group where the target user should instead be added

I am unsure if the whole section is accurate so I suggest reviewing with the developers
