[clug] dbus and hald problem

[Rainer Klein]

Looking at your error message, I would guess there is an access right issue 
involved.

Here is an output from my openSuSE box:

> ls -arl /var/*/*dbus*
/var/run/dbus:
total 5
srwxrwxrwx  1 root       root          0 2009-03-15 20:08 system_bus_socket
-rw-r--r--  1 root       root          5 2009-03-15 20:08 pid
drwxr-xr-x 23 root       root       1384 2009-03-22 20:16 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 messagebus messagebus  112 2009-03-15 20:08 .

/var/lib/dbus:
total 5
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   33 2008-06-10 22:38 machine-id
drwxr-xr-x 42 root root 1096 2009-02-22 21:29 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root   80 2008-06-10 22:38 .

Further, the related init script on my openSuSE system is not labeld 
as 'messagebus', but as 'dbus' script. So one checks for it like:

> chkconfig --list dbus
dbus                      0:off  1:off  2:on   3:on   4:off  5:on   6:off

I hope this is of any help to you.

Regards,
Rainer
