libvirt users - Nov 2012 - Failed to bind socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Permission denied

Hi all,     When I start self-built libvirtd by "libvirtd -d -l -f
libvirtd.conf", it shows that      error : virNetSocketNewListenUNIX:346 :
Failed to bind socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Permission
denied      I have removed some requested comments in libvirtd.conf. The key
settings are shown as below:              listen_tcp = 1       tcp_port =
"16509"       listen_addr = "0.0.0.0"             
unix_sock_group = "root"       unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770"  
unix_sock_ro_perms = "0777"        unix_sock_dir =
"/var/run/libvirt"             Is there any thing wrong? Need I start
libvirtd by root?
      Thanks a lot!
Best Regards!Corey

If started as a regular user, then this started a qemu:///session
server.  But note that qemu:///session is auto-spawned by merely
attempting to connect as a regular user, so you don't really need to
manually start libvirtd in that case.  If you want a qemu:///system
server, then it has to be started by root.

Yes.
