First thing is that you might want to try a newer release. There was a major rewrite a little while ago, and the example conf file online probably won't work for your older release. The new releases (and old ones) are here: http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/ > I decided to RTFM and created the directory myself (install -d -m755 > -opolkit -gpolkit /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/).

I'd expect something in that example file is not expected on 0.3. As I said before, things changed quite a bit recently. Try version 0.5. Here's the announcement for that version: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2007-August/009511.html I think it probably needs ConsoleKit to be running, too. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
