Bug #3972

Avahi daemon doesn't start due to missing folder for requisite dbus-daemon.

Description
Avahi package version 0.6.31 pkg v1.06 has a bug which prevents it from working. This bug should be easy to fix. I have already tracked down the problem, and have found a fix from the command prompt, but it needs to be "re-fixed" after every reboot of pfSense.
The problem stems from a missing folder: /var/run/dbus/ , which needs to be chown'd by system user [messagebus]. Adding this folder allows the dbus-daemon to run, which in turn allows avahi-daemon to start.
I would submit a patch myself, except that I don't know which file(s) need to be patched to automate the process.

Oops! I confused the terms "Assignee" and "Assigner". I put myself as the assignee, thinking that I was supposed to do so as I created the report. I don't seem to be able to remove this myself.

While this is being fixed, it may also warrant adding a <service> tag for dbus.

Was that a general note, or one directed at me? 'Cause I don't know how to add a <service> tag.

Working AVAHI on 2.2
mkdir /var/run/dbus
chown messagebus:messagebus /var/run/dbus
dbus-daemon --system
Aaron makes it simple here. :)

bug here is fixed. would be nice to have a <service> tag, but this was a quick fix and that's a little more involved than I have time to get into at the moment.
