BTW, still not fixed. I'm unable to get an active ck session. Been staring at this all day and just now realized that the login-session-id was not set. Just rebuilt kernel with CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL=y (I have no idea why I would have even messed with auditing support. Still not fixed, but I suspect it has to do with dbus-launch now. Will report back when fixed. -- DJ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
