To follow up on this: I don't think your particular issue is related to 569058. 569058 was about the setuid bit not being set correctly. From your comment on 569058, where you showed an ls -la of the helper, the setuid was set correctly. To understand you correctly: are you saying, that the messagebus user is only stored in LDAP? (if so, that's a very bad idea btw) and I guess the ldap service runs after the dbus service (check /etc/rc2.d/)? Under which user is your dbus system bus process running (ps aux | grep dbus)? I'll keep this bug closed, as it smells very much like a local misconfiguration. Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
