Description Leung Ki Chi 2005-05-17 21:05:51 UTC
When qemu 0.7.0 is emerged with USE=kqemu, the device node is created, and
assigned to group "qemu". This requires users to be either root or members of
the "qemu" group to use the kqemu kernel module. However, the ebuild does not
inform users of this requirement.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
If USE=kqemu is set, einfo users that they need to be in the qemu group, in
addition to loading the qemu module, before starting qemu.
