Hi
This package wouldn't install without a 'hal' user. I created one, and
the package installed. But now on boot the hal service doesn't start:
paulf> svcs -xv
svc:/system/avahi-bridge-dsd:default (Avahi Daemon Bridge to Bonjour)
State: maintenance since Fri Mar 20 19:42:58 2009
Reason: Start method failed repeatedly, last exited with status 255.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS
See: man -M /opt/foss/share/man -s 8 avahi-daemon
See: /var/svc/log/system-avahi-bridge-dsd:default.log
Impact: This service is not running.
svc:/system/hal:default (Hardware Abstraction Layer daemon)
State: maintenance since Fri Mar 20 19:41:59 2009
Reason: Restarting too quickly.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-L5
See: man -M /usr/man -s 1M hal
See: /var/svc/log/system-hal:default.log
Impact: This service is not running.

Does the hal user need any particular priveleges and/or do I need to
create these directories?
A+
