Session bus not creating socket

[Chris Picton]

Hi

I have installed dbus on gentoo (0.23-r1)

dbus starts automatically through the init script.  Once my system has
booted, I get the following:

chrisp at aleph-null ~ $ ps auwwx | grep dbus
101      30544  0.0  0.2   3580  1480 ?        Ss   11:24
0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon-1 --system

chrisp at aleph-null ~ $ grep 101 /etc/passwd
messagebus:x:101:441:added by portage for dbus:/dev/null:/bin/false


When I start the session bus, I get the following:

chrisp at aleph-null ~ $ dbus-launch
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS='unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-YBZcSlNntH'
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=30675

chrisp at aleph-null ~ $ ls -l /tmp/dbus-YBZcSlNntH
ls: /tmp/dbus-YBZcSlNntH: No such file or directory

chrisp at aleph-null ~ $ ps auwwx | grep dbus
101      30544  0.0  0.2   3580  1480 ?        Ss   11:24
0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon-1 --system
chrisp   30675  0.0  0.2   3464  1196 ?        Ss   11:26   0:00
dbus-daemon-1 --fork --print-pid 8 --print-address 6 --session


Is the socket /tmp/dbus-YBZcSlNntH meant to exist?

How would I debug it not being created?

Chris
