Description of problem: When user accounts are in ldap and/or krb5, dbus/hal doesn't work, and subsequently you need root access to access cd-roms, usb sticks and other removable media. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dbus-1.0.0-6.el5 hal-0.5.8.1-19.el5 openldap-clients-2.3.27-5 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login as user with nss data in ldap, auth info in ldap or krb5 2. lshal command produces error: dbus_bus_get: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. 3a. Login as a local user. 3b. Type "getent passwd $USERNAME" >> /etc/passwd and add corresponding entry to /etc/shadow as well (i.e. copy the user data from ldap to local /etc/passwd). 4. Now lshal command produces the expected result, and attaching a removable device shows up on the gnome desktop etc. Might be related to PR:s 182464 and 199240
