Trying to set up a copy of CentOS 6.2 for home use and give each family member their own guest. Goal is to cripple the host so that no meaningful work can be done through it and each family member must use their own guest. "Gold Disk" masters would be kept of each guest, so if they screw it up, I can simply overwrite their current guest from the master. SELinux is enabled and sVirt separates each guest (I want to keep it that way). Default settings require a regular user to run the Virtual Machine Manager via sudo. Once they do that, they can see (and access) any other family member's guest. Would really like to avoid this. Have read several blurbs about getting qemu-kvm to run under a regular user, but not sure if the version provided with CentOS 6 is compiled with the options to allow that. When I follow the guidance to put users in the kvm group and change the ownership of key files, I fail. Appears to me that qemu-kvm with CentOS 6 is not set up (compliled) to run under a regular user. Say users are u1, u2, u3, and u4, and all are in the kvm group. What else do I need to do to allow them to start, suspend, and stop their own guest VM? Dave
