VM list from normal user, and sudo

Post by kAldown »

Hi there!
Could anyone explain, how to configure user to see VM list from sudo parametr, under FreeBSD 10?
for example:

Code: Select all

% VBoxManage showvminfo FreeBSD
Name:            FreeBSD
Groups:          /
Guest OS:        FreeBSD (32 bit)
UUID:            84877dd4-bb5b-43fa-83fd-cd2401d13566
and from sudo:

Code: Select all

% sudo VBoxManage showvminfo FreeBSD
VBoxManage: error: Could not find a registered machine named 'FreeBSD'
VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80bb0001), component VirtualBox, interface IVirtualBox, callee nsISupports
VBoxManage: error: Context: "FindMachine(Bstr(VMNameOrUuid).raw(), machine.asOutParam())" at line 2610 of file VBoxManageInfo.cpp
It's need to me for using gns3, while sudo can not see VM lists which was created from normal user.
Thanks!

You need to ask the gns3 people about their product. What you are showing is exactly right and the way it is supposed to work. Only the person that installed the guest can see/manipulate it.
