[Bug 498251] [NEW] libvirtd fails to run user defined emulator permission denied

[Mike Power]

Public bug reported:

I used a bash script to set some kvm specific parameters at the start of
the vm.

The script looks like:
#!/bin/bash
exec /usr/bin/kvm -vga std $@

Permissions on the file are -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 43 2009-12-04 10:16
/usr/local/bin/kvm-std-vga.sh

One virtual machine was setup to use this:
    <emulator>/usr/local/bin/kvm-std-vga.sh</emulator>


This worked fine prior to 9.10 but after 9.10 I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 493, in run_domain
    vm.startup()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 558, in startup
    self.vm.create()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 293, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: internal error unable to start guest: libvir: error : cannot execute binary /usr/local/bin/kvm-std-vga.sh: Permission denied

Seems libvirtd is making more assumptions about the emulator then it
used to.
