[CentOS] dbus-daemon and CentOS6

We are seeing high load developing over time on some machines that have dozens of user sessions. One common characteristic is that dbus-daemon uses near 100% cpu. Red Hat seems to be aware of the problem, but the solutions are available to subscribers only.

Re: [CentOS] From Networkmanager to self managed configuration files

Did I see an implicit "do as Red Hat says or else" there somewhere? Not appropriate. Linux is not Windows (yet). In the heat of the moment it may easily be forgotton that Linux is all about choice. We choose to run CentOS, and we choose to run it the way we see fit. We appreciate the efforts
