DBUS boot problem

[Scott Anderson]

I saw posted in January a message about not starting dbus during boot.  (See Permission denied 
to bind to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus -- need some advise :-).

Did the problem ever get resolved?

I am having a similar problem where during the boot startup, I get the following error:

Starting system message bus: dbus.
Starting Hardware abstraction layer: haldrun-parts: /etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal exited with return 
code 1
Starting DBUS aware dhcp client: dhcdbd.
Starting NetworkManager daemon.
Starting NetworkManager dispatcher.

Essentially, the dbus-daemon never starts with the --system option.  Hence, the dependent daemons 
will not start either.

However, if I restart the dbus daemon like this as root DBUS starts and all the dependent daemons 
start too:

% /etc/init.d/dbus restart
Stopping NetworkManager dispatcher.
Stopping NetworkManager daemon.
Stopping DBUS aware dhcp client: dhcdbd.
Stopping Hardware abstraction layer: hald.
Stopping system message bus: dbus.
Starting system message bus: dbus.
Starting Hardware abstraction layer: hald.
Starting DBUS aware dhcp client: dhcdbd.
Starting NetworkManager daemon.
Starting NetworkManager dispatcher.

My system is Debian/unstable, up-to-date as of Jul 20 2006.

% dpkg -l dbus dbus-1-utils libdbus-1-2 libdbus-glib-1-2

Thanks for the help in advance.
