Interesting experiment - I'm getting tempted to do one myself.
Which I've just done:
I did an "insserv -r haldaemon" which complained about 'network" depending on 'haldaemon'. So I did an "insserv -rf haldaemon" instead and rebooted the box. Not having hald running doesn't seem to make much of difference.
It depends on which version of SuSE you are running; for 10.1 it would be much different, I think.
This is a 10.1 system :-)
It is not simply hotpluggable things. Try the command "lshal", and you will see that it reports on fixed hardisks and partitions, video, chipset, ethernet.... everything.
Yeah, I did notice that, but that doesn't necessarily mean hald does anything for all of that. Still, that is the reason I brought up the question. Anders' example of using hald in a context of iSCSI was quite interesting, and there might very well be other such examples. BTW, it's not that I have any particular dislike of hald, I just wanted to know what it does for me, and it didn't seem to do much for a non-desktop system. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
