i did run the command 'sudo adduser `id -un` libvirtd', and i do get
output like this:

$ virsh -c qemu:///system list
 Id Name                 State
- ----------------------------------

$

if i try running 'sudo adduser `id -un` libvirtd' again, i am told i am
already a member of the libvirtd group.  however, when i run the
'groups' command, the libvirtd group is not listed:

$ sudo adduser `id -un` libvirtd
The user `scar' is already a member of `libvirtd'.
$ groups
scar adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner fuse
