FreeBSD 7.3 Gnome 2.28.2 trouble

in /etc/rc.conf
Code: 
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
gnome_enable="YES

in /etc/fstab
Code: 
proc        /proc     procfs   rw   0 0

Thanks. Ran into the same problem before myself. Just added proc entry to my fstab. I wonder why this isn't in there by default? Also, from what I've read you don't need all three enable statements since gnome_enable takes care of dbus and hald. I have the first two only since I'm using startx to run gnome.

Because /proc has certain security implications. And not all applications require /proc. Non of the base OS tools use it.

Interesting. So all of the tools the use kernel data structures like ps(1) would need to be changed and recompiled every time the kernel changes. I think part of the reason /proc came about was to avoid some of that, no? Sorry for the divergence. Could make a new thread on this if we want...
