Re: Problem with dbus and hal [SOLVED]

Have you got a user named dbus?

# less /etc/group

If not make the following:

# usr/sbin/groupadd -g 81 dbus
# usr/sbin/useradd -c 'System message bus' -u 81 -g dbus -d '/' -s /bin/false dbus

Additionally make sure that dbus is started before hal, change the order in your /etc/rc.conf.

HAL starts dbus if it isn't up, so, putting only HAL in rc.conf is enough

Bye!

Why you want to start it with hald, you got a nice script in /etc/rc.d/ for this
