** Description changed: + =============================== + 1. Impact: when libvirt is installed, sudo group members are not placed into group libvirtd. + 2. Development fix: sudo members are added to group libvirtd. + 3. Stable fix: same as development fix. + 4. Test case: install a new precise system; make sure at least one user is in group sudo; install libvirt-bin; check for sudo group members to be in group libvirtd. + 5. Regression potential: If done wrongly, users who should not be in group libvirtd could be placed in the group. + =============================== + In precise, admin users are added to the "sudo" group, and not the "admin" group like it used to be the case. The libvirt-bin.postinst file contains: - # Add each admin user to the libvirtd group - for u in $(grep "^admin:" /etc/group | sed -e "s/^.*://" -e "s/,/ /g"); do - adduser "$u" libvirtd >/dev/null || true - done + # Add each admin user to the libvirtd group + for u in $(grep "^admin:" /etc/group | sed -e "s/^.*://" -e "s/,/ /g"); do + adduser "$u" libvirtd >/dev/null || true + done This needs to be modified to add the "sudo" group also, while probably retaining the "admin" group for people who have upgraded from older releases.
