Ahh that's where that is from! I was meaning to look for that at the end of my last email but got distracted. On my system the file is: /var/lib/dbus/machine-id (hyphen, not underscore). I'd guess the underscore is a typo, as it's unlikely something we tweaked for no reason! Ng Oon-Ee: for me, /var/lib/dbus only contains this file, so I'd say you should just add this to your bind mounts and everything should "just work" ;) Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mandriva Linux Contributor [http://www.mandriva.com/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
