Description Andrew Dahms 2015-03-31 01:36:27 EDT

The list of system users and groups must be updated.

The rhevm package appears to create the following on the Manager:

User ovirt (108) in group ovirt (108)
User vdsm (36) in group kvm (36)

The vdsm package appears to create the following on hosts:

User vdsm (36) in group kvm (36)
User qemu (107) in group qemu (107)
User sanlock (179) in group sanlock (179)

Is this list complete, and correct? What about users on storage domains? Do storage domains only need vdsm and kvm, or are there more?
