If I get the messages when booting to a console login prompt, it can't be anything to do with X or my user. The file is group owned by messagebus and checking /etc/passwd and /etc/group revealed inconsistencies. So I removed the messagebus entries from both file and ran "emerge -1 --noconfmem dbus dbus-glib" and rebooted. So far, no more of those messages. Thanks to Helmut for raising the topic again and thanks to Samuli for giving me the kick up the jacksie I needed to search for a proper solution to replace the ugly hack. I'm hours behind in my work now, but I am happy(er) :) -- Neil Bothwick C:\DOS\SYSTEM\OS2\UTILITIES\DOCS\HELP\WHERE\THE\F$#%\AM\I???
