There is no /.dbus/ directory on any CentOS systems I’ve used. It sounds to me like someone tried to run a dbus-aware user program as root where $HOME=/. It would be regenerated if you did that again. The system-level dbus files are in /var/lib/dbus. The systemd init system uses dbus to communicate, but it uses a private socket file. 2.) That said, yes, the dbus configuration is a per-host config with a unique machine-id for the system dbus-daemon and unique dbus sessions for users. They’re generated when you first run a session. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
