I just built a new system and I am seeing dbus run as user id 101 (which there is no user for that). Is this correct? I'm leaning towards no... hence the post.

Code:
user@host Downloads $ ps -ef | grep dbus
101       1941     1  0 Jan28 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system
user      3105     1  0 Jan28 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session
user      3106     1  0 Jan28 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session
user     11583 10143  0 00:40 pts/2    00:00:00 grep --colour=auto dbus

101 1806 0.0 0.0 20428 1812 ? Ss 04:31 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system

rest as my user.... almost exactly identical to your machines setup. id 0 is root and id 1000 is user with NO powers, everything inbetween is a sliding scale, and users are attached to numbers so 102 would be ok with no user associated with it. 101 is pretty high up

look for your self

cat /etc/group

(i think theres a file that does this for users but its escaping me for the moment)

Take a look at the ebuild:
Code:
enewgroup messagebus
enewuser messagebus -1 -1 -1 messagebus
...
--with-dbus-user=messagebus

I have the same question.
But I'm afraid I don't understand the answer post.

Should I add user "messagebus" manually and set its uid to 101?
