Fedora 18 Virt-Manager pkla

[Frank Murphy]

How to allow the regular user to start Virt-Manager without
having to constantly insert password.

http://libvirt.org/auth.html
"/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/"
above dirs seem to be no longer in F18

there is
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-default.rules

I havn't a clue about the JS config required.

Any example appreciated.

su -c "groupadd libvirt"
su -c "gpasswd -a <USER> libvirt"
newgrp libvirt

su -c "cat <<'EOF' > /etc/polkit-1/rules.d\
/50-org.libvirt.unix.manage.rules
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if (action.id == "org.libvirt.unix.manage" &&
        subject.isInGroup("libvirt")) {
        return polkit.Result.YES;
    }
});
EOF"

You example was clearer to me.
The example on man 8, not so helpful.
It's my logic problem, not the authors.

My thanks to you for the knowledge shared.
