Hi guys,

I'm using Parabola with OpenRC.

The D-Bus daemon won't start:

$ sudo rc-service dbus start
  * Starting dbus ...
Failed to start message bus: Could not get UID and GID for username 
"dbus"
  * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/bin/dbus-daemon'
  * Failed to start dbus                                                  
                                                                          
                                                                          
                                         [ !! ]
  * ERROR: dbus failed to start

There's no dbus user/group. Shall I just go ahead and create them? 
Shouldn't they be created when installing D-Bus? I did not get this 
issue on my other computers (which are all using systemd, this is the 
first time I try OpenRC).

Thanks,
Reg
