If it ran without any output, it means that you have hal and hal-libs installed and that all the files from those package match what was originally installed. (See man rpm for more details on verifying packages.) I would look for error messages in /var/log/messages to see why you seem to be getting errors starting the haldaemon service. You could open to terminals and run "tailf /var/log/messages" to watch the messages logfile in real time. Hit return a few times to add some blank space. This makes it easy to see new lines. In another terminal, run "service haldaemon restart" and watch for any errors or warnings in the first terminal. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He who will not reason is a bigot; he who cannot is a fool; and he who dares not is a slave. -- Sir William Drummond, Academical Questions
