Hello,

in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf the group (from /etc/group) "plugdev"
gets the permission for the removal devices.
We are using LDAP for the account data and don't want to configure every
/etc/group on every machine. So I changed "plugdev" to the ldap group
"dev-usb".
Then I always get the error message:

Unknown group "dev-usb" in message bus configuration file

Works fine for me.

Is the ldap server running on the  same machine as the dbus service?
afaik the ldap server is started after dbus, so this could be the problem.

Cheers,
Michael
