	ChangeLog hal.conf.in 
Log Message:
2004-09-03  David Zeuthen  <david at fubar.dk>

	Patch from Martin Pitt <martin at piware.de>.

	* hal.conf.in: Drop AgentManager interface. Allow both HAL_USER
	and root to own the org.freedesktop.Hal service.
	
	* hald/Makefile.am: Link with libcap
	
	* hald/hald.c: (usage), (drop_privileges), (main):
	add option --drop-privileges which causes hald not to run as root,
	but as @HAL_USER@ in @HAL_GROUP@ and all additional groups set in
	/etc/group, and keeping the necessary capabilities to do its
	job. This does _not_ change the default behaviour, if the option
	is not specified, hald runs as root, as before.
