Subject: [bug#49134] [PATCH] services: libvirt: Change unix-sock-group default.
Date: Sun, 20 Jun 2021 15:39:40 +0200

When accessing libvrtd remotely, polkit can't be used unless you are
logged as root.  Instead allow libvirt groups member access to the
control socket.

* gnu/services/virtualization.scm (libvirt-configuration)
[unix-sock-group]: Change default from "root" to "libvirt".
