Yes, /usr/sbin/hald is contained in hal-0.5.10-1.fc8.i386, as is the /etc/rc.d/init.d/haldaemon script: [root@bigdog ~]# rpm -ql hal-0.5.10-1.fc8 (some files...) /etc/rc.d/init.d/haldaemon (more files...) /usr/sbin/hald (more files...) It should be running in run level 3 and 5, so as root: # chkconfig --level 35 haldaemon on to ensure it's enabled, then if you're in either run level 3 or 5: # service haldaemon start and it should be running. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - Never put off 'til tommorrow what you can forget altogether! - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
