Subject: [PATCH] virt-admin: Properly fix the default session daemon URI to
admin server
Commit 30ce2f0e tried to fix the issue with an incorrect session URI to admin
server but it messed up the checks:
if (geteuid == 0 && VIR_STRDUP(*uristr, "libvirtd:///system") < 0)
return -1;
else if (VIR_STRDUP(*uristr, "libvirtd:///session") < 0)
return -1;
So if a client executed with root privileges tries to connect, its euid is
checked (true) and the correct URI is successfully copied to @uristr (false),
therefore the 'else' branch is taken and @uristr is replaced by the session URI
which for root results in:
Failed to connect socket to '/root/.cache/libvirt/libvirt-admin-sock':
No such file or directory

Conflicts:
src/libvirt-admin.c - these were caused by not backporting 30ce2f0e,
since that one was obviously an incorrect fix that needed an additional
fix, so why not just backport the additional fix and resolve a tiny
conflict...
