Description Christian Schlotter 2006-11-29 12:56:50 UTC
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

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.
