[Xen-devel] Re: [Xen-changelog] Set the permissions correctly on the XML-RPC UDP socket, so that non-root users

[Anthony Liguori <aliguori@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you see this failure after changing the socket location to 
/var/run/xend/xml-rpc.sock?  The only way the permissions of 
/var/run/xend-xmlrpc.sock should be non-root is if /var/run has non root 
permissions.  Was that the case?
Regards,

Anthony Liguoir
