Hi Paul, I'm not sure. There are some hints in the Dude/HAL/0.5.9.1/Solaris/README.solaris file, where it says:
Example SMF manifest and start method are in this directory, under "smf". Make sure you have user 'hald' and group 'hald' added to your system. Here is small help cat /etc/passwd | grep hald hald:x:92:92:Hald service Reserved UID:/: cat /etc/group | grep hald hald::92:hald Thanks, Mark On Fri, 20 Mar 2009 20:00:43 +0100 Paul Floyd <paulf at free.fr> wrote: > Hi > > This package wouldn't install without a 'hal' user.
