  • Start qemu as a non-privileged user
  • Run qemu as a non-root user
  • Propegates xauth information
  • Only selected users can start qemu
  • Existing tap network devices can be bound

It presumes all qemu instances will run under the same user-id (qemu). A group emulator is created; only members of this group are allowed to start qemu. Qemu is started with one ethernet interface, which is bound through a tap device. Xauthority data is automatically transferred if the DISPLAY variable is set.
