Description of problem: /usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper is intended to be installed setuid. It allows non-privileged qemu instances to connect to an existing bridge. It is currently missing its setuid bit: $ ls -la /usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 15376 Sep 25 07:12 /usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper The spec file does: chmod u+s $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_libexecdir}/qemu-bridge-helper ... %{_libexecdir}/qemu-bridge-helper I believe this fails because it is built in a mock chroot. It presumably needs an explit %attr in %files for this to work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qemu-common-1.4.2-11.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ensure /etc/qemu/bridge.conf contains 'allow virbr0'. 2. Create a libvirt 'session' guest as an unprivileged user. 3. Configure networking with: <interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='virbr0'/> </interface> 4. Start the guest Actual results: Permission denied Expected results: Guest connected to the virbr0 bridge
Hmm, this is correct in f18 but not f19+, must need some RPM tweak
