RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description yafu 2022-06-08 03:48:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
The comment for "listen_tcp" in virtproxyd.conf needs to update, because virtproxyd process does not support "--listen" option.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-8.4.0-1.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Check the comment for "listen_tcp" in virtproxyd.conf
#cat /etc/libvirt/virtproxyd.conf
...
# Listen for unencrypted TCP connections on the public TCP/IP port.
# NB, must pass the ***--listen flag to the virtproxyd process *** for this to
# have any effect.
#
# This setting is not required or honoured if using systemd socket
# activation.
#
# Using the TCP socket requires SASL authentication by default. Only
# SASL mechanisms which support data encryption are allowed. This is
# DIGEST_MD5 and GSSAPI (Kerberos5)
#
# This is disabled by default, uncomment this to enable it.
#listen_tcp = 1

Actual results:
virtproxyd does not support "--listen" option, so should remove this part 
in the comment.

Expected results:

Upstream commit:

commit b8e94066f078977906effad7e54e9320f5d1fd98
Author: Peter Krempa <pkrempa>

    remote: conf: Mention that 'virtproxyd' doesn't require the '--listen' flag
    
    'virtproxyd' doesn't have the '--listen' parameter and it's enough just
    to enable the corresponding option in the config.
    
    The config file is generic for all the daemons and we just omit/adjust
    some sections. Adding a separate mechanism to omit the note about the
    '--listen' parameter would be overkill so mention explicitly that it's
    required only for libvirtd and not virtproxyd.
    
    The section is omitted for other daemons.

The documentation was changed so that it mentions that only 'libvirtd' requires the '--listen' flag.
