Comment 15 for bug 295405

I have never used the program "users-admin". However, an odd thing just happened. When I tried to start users-admin to see if it looked familiar, I got the massage that I didn't have permission to run it. So I checked the messagebus user in /etc/passwd, and it was okay. I then retested all of the symptoms, reported in earlier postings, and they all were failing once again However, rebooting the computer fixed everything. So there's still an unexplained lingering intermittent problem, which is very troubling.

When the entry in /etc/passwd was:
    messagebus:x:104:112::/var/run/dbus:/bin/false
which put the messagebus user in group 112. There was already a valid group with a gid of 112: ssl-cert

I didn't know an easy to find all of the files on my disk which were owned by that group, so I ran:

     sudo ls -l -R * | grep ssl-cert > ~/ssl-cert

(results attached) and didn't find any suspect files that were created by the messagebus user while its default gid was 112. Therefore, it looks like this wasn't a problem.
