Oh? because I have a mac laptop and I?m replying to you with it? Yes, I am so dumb I can?t tell the difference between my mac and my linux systems. I just looked at both a el5 and a el6 x86_64 system, neither have a /.dbus directory.> when you say 'first run a session', are you meaning when system is > first installed? > > or when a session that uses dbus-daemon is run?I?m saying that perhaps these files were created when you ran some dbus-aware client as root, and it started a user dbus-daemon. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
