libvirt users - Apr 2012 - Non-Root not able to use openReadOnly()

Hi,
      I have a code :


import libvirt
con = libvirt.openReadOnly(None)
print con.listDomainsID()


When i run the above code using root i get the proper output... but when i
use non-root user it givers be a empty list [ ]

If i change the 2nd line to

con = libvirt.open(qemu:///system)
It works.


I am using RHEL 6.1 with default kvm and libvirt.

unix_sock_group = "virt"   in libvirtd.conf   where virt is a group of
non-root user

group = "virt"  in qemu.conf    is set.



Any Ideas????

When you pass 'None' to the open API call, libvirt will guess what
driver to use. If you run non-root, it guesses 'qemu:///session'
but when you run as root it guesses 'qemu:///system'. You should
always pass an explicit URI if you know which one you want to use.
