Those enable the startup of the DBUS and HAL services via their control files in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Those services are often needed for X, and programs related to X (KDE, Gnome, Xfce, and many programs that have "Use DBUS for something" compile time options set). Sadly, those don't provide "man dbus" or "man hal" in a very impolite manner. I'm sure you can find more documentation on the web, but it may already be outdated. If you ask what HAL and DBUS actually *ARE*, I'm not sure what to answer - to me, they are both useless. :-) Removing the entries in /etc/rc.conf may cause problems for some of your programs, or may even make your X stop working properly. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
