Hi all, Linux has an issue that I don't care for.
If a process is owned by a user with a username longer than 8 characters, a ps listing does not show the user name, instead, it show the UID number. The default user to run the D-Bus daemon is named "messagebus". This name exceeds 8 characters, therefore a ps listing of processes shows the daemon owned by a numerical representation of the username (UID) instead of the username. I don't like this. What say the group about this issue? No big deal, or keep usernames to 8 chars for daemon owners so that a ps listing shows the username and not a UID number. So that it is known, a simple change to the D-Bus configuration file allows to use any user name, and not the default "messagebus". Any and all comments would be appreciated. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 00:51:01 up 19 days, 24 min, 3 users, load average: 0.04, 0.07, 0.02 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
