[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#799633: libvirtd: logs to kernel log

[brian m. carlson]

Package: libvirt-daemon
Version: 1.2.19-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/libvirtd

In /var/log/kern.log, I see the following two lines:

  Sep 21 03:04:06 vauxhall libvirtd[989]: libvirt version: 1.2.19, package: 1 (buildd 2015-09-02-23:09:36 x86-csail-01)
  Sep 21 03:04:06 vauxhall libvirtd[989]: Unable to initialize audit layer: Protocol not supported

Seeing as libvirtd is not the kernel, it should not be logging to the
kernel log for any reason.  I have configured systemd not to do so, so
that is not the cause.  libvirtd appears to be the only process doing
so.

Please configure libvirtd to use an appropriate log destination.
