I'm running 6.2 RC1 and I get the following error message (follows) when hald tries to start up. I added a regular user named "haldaemon" with adduser and hald all worked fine. I also 1.) commented out cdrom device in /etc/fstab 2.) made sure /media folder existed 3.) pw group mod operator -m philip as in q.19 g2 faq so I do have a working hald installation, however I would like "haldaemon" as a system account (ie. like www or uucp or pop). not like a regular end user (ie. philip david dweezil moon_unit). I am relatively new to freebsd administration, can somebody please advise how I would achieve this. I would imagine on installation "haldaemon" should have been installed? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ hald command & errormessage +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ freebsd# /usr/local/sbin/hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes 21:22:03.055 [I] hald.c:469: hal 0.5.8 21:22:03.055 [I] hald.c:534: Will not daemonize 21:22:03.058 [I] hald_dbus.c:3238: local server is listening at unix:path=/var/run/hald/dbus-i5eJm2AUWl,guid=7b4b6f45560823818a0104a6c75a2200 21:22:03.088 [I] hald_runner.c:116: Runner has pid 1047 Runner started - allowed paths are '/usr/local/libexec:/usr/local/libexec/hal/scripts:/usr/local/bin' 21:22:03.101 [E] hald.c:263: drop_privileges: user haldaemon does not exist +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks and great work on getting hald incorporated with FreeBSD.
