Also, the message -bus is built on top of a general one-to-one message passing framework, -which can be used by any two apps to communicate directly (without going -through the message bus daemon). Currently the communicating applications -are on one computer, but TCP/IP option is available and remote support -planned. - -You will need to create the 'messagebus' user and group before installing the -dbus package; sample lines to do so are below: - /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 81 messagebus - /usr/sbin/useradd -c 'System Message Bus' -g messagebus -u 81 -d '/' \ - -s /bin/false messagebus -Note that the "\" character is a escape character, meaning that both of those -lines are actually *one* line. Also note that the numerical uid and gid given -in the above sample lines may need to change on your system; if you already -have an existing user and/or group with those id's, then they obviously need -to be modified for your system. Because the 'messagebus' user and group are -considered system accounts, the custom is to make their uid's and gid's less -than 100, but that's entirely up to you. Note that Slackware 12.0 will use -uid and gid of 81 for these groups, so you should strongly consider using them -instead of changing them. - -After creating the 'messagebus' user and group, you will need to make sure -the /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus script is run at boot. The easiest way to do this -is adding something like the following line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: - if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus ]; then - /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus start - fi - -You will also want to stop the messagebus service at shutdown; the easiest way -to do this is adding something like the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown: - if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus ]; then - /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus stop - fi |
