2021/07/01 16:12:32 socat[11653] E Option "user" only with bind option

The socat command underlying is:

```
  /usr/bin/socat \
    UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/ovirt-vmconsole-console/${vmid}.sock,user=ovirt-vmconsole \
    STDIO,raw,echo=0,escape=29
```

Removing the `,user=ovirt-vmconsole` part make it working.

Looking at http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/doc/CHANGES it sames a change introduced with version 1.7.4.0.

This affects CentOS Stream as 1.7.4.1 is targeting RHEL 8.5.

Comment 2 Sandro Bonazzola 2021-07-01 16:23:25 UTC 
Need to check on CentOS 8.4 / RHEL 8.4 if dropping `,user=ovirt-vmconsole` is going to break the command on current RHEL.
