Looks wrong; the parameter -d is "-d directory", explained
as "Store databases into specified destination directory
instead of /etc."

The coorect command should be

	# pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd

See "man pwd_mkdb" for details.

Some file access error would be possible.

The dbus port is often used to "enhance functionality", but
it's not entirely required to run KDE, Gnome or Xfce (to name
the "big three"). Just make sure X is compiled without it.
Maybe some functionality might be missing, but if you don't
depend on it... as for just automount, FreeBSD has a native
solution that worked even before HAL and DBUS.
