I'm not too far from doing that. A bit more work describing the installation of GNOME-Python and I'll be ready. > If we need to make a change, that's OK.

The text about the user/group being needed to avoid the warning message warrants doing it. And, I can't help but think the hald daemon will be modified in the future to support working without the --retain-privileges switch. At least the discussion on the HAL mailing list leads me to believe that. I believe the problem is that they don't want to make all the callout programs SUID root (some distros are doing that) and an unprivileged user just can't perform the required tasks. -- 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] 15:29:00 up 99 days, 53 min, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.32, 0.56 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
