In a configuration where xserver connects to clients via XDMCP where do I need to run dbus and hald, or more specifically, on what computer do I need to have in /etc/rc.conf these two lines: dbus_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" a. only on the machine which runs xserver? b. only on the machine which runs the clients? c. on both the xserver and clients machines? I've tried various configurations, but cannot still cannot get a web browser to run, only endless dbus-launch and dbus-daemon processes. I've looked at man pages for dbus-launch(1), dbus-daemon(1), hald(8), and at freedesktop.org/software/dbus, but cannot find the answer. Please advise. many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
