Did you have an older version of hal installed before or was it a clean install?The system was initialized by xen-create-image. (I'm sorry I didn't mention this before!) My vm host is turned off right now but I can check its configuration in detail if necessary.
Yes, that would help. Could you check (or send me) the contents of /etc/passwd and /etc/group for the haldaemon entry.
What does getent passwd | grep haldaemon getent group | grep haldaemon say. Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
