Hi! When starting up, D-Bus prints the following warning on console: * Starting D-BUS system messagebus ... Unknown username "named" in message bus configuration file [ ok ] This is probably caused by an entry in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/dhcdbd.conf: <policy user="named"> <allow send_interface="com.redhat.dhcp"/> <allow send_destination="com.redhat.dhcp"/> </policy> I also noticed that the file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/dhcdbd.conf is installed as executable -- that should be fixed, too. Best regards Christian Some links I found on the net: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-497893.html https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205254
It is not a stray entry in the file. Portage cannot handle dependencies in an overlay, and NetworkManager expects bind to be installed with a patch to add dbus support which hasn't been accepted upstream (as far as I know)
Thanks for the explanation, Steev. I will close this bug as invalid.
