one way of attacking the OS
1.search the lists
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2012-May/241042.html
2.)mouse intermittent works if problem with dbus-daemon
3.)analyze - dbus-daemon is a 'relatively unknown' and extra DEPENDENCY
of moused
4.)set kern.securelevel=333
5.)interrupt control of moused
root /usr/sbin/moused -F 200 -A 1.5.2.0 -a 0.7 -r high -V -p /dev/psm0 -t
auto
6.)alt to port /dev/psm0 - not completed

so, how can anything dbus be ELIMINATED from the OS?

*details using dtpstree
init-+-adjkerntz
     |-console-kit-daemon
     |-devd
     |-moused
     |-dbus-daemon
     |-polkitd
     |-swapexd
     |-7*[getty]
     |-gpg-agent
     |-2*[gam_server]
     |-login---shell--sh---xinit-+-Xorg
     |                           `-fluxbox-+-terminal
     |-***network

question: how can dbus or dbus-daemon be eliminated from the basic OS
configuration for a
developer workstation?

Thank you.
