Steps to reproduce:

I currently have the group "munin" with gid 133 in my /etc/group (munin:x:133:).

Also when starting dbus:

Unknown username "rtkit" in message bus configuration file

Change the munin GID, then. According to its install file, munin should allocate a system GID, which lies between 500 and 999.

Problem solved, but is this to be considered the correct behavior? Is there any particular reason for rtkit to have a group with id 133?

I've fruitlessly tried to find information about gid ranges and I personally can't see why the gid number should matter at all.

There's this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:UID_/_GID_Database
I moved rtkit to a fixed UID/GID to fix a bug, but I don't remember what it was. :(

Anyway, closed for not being a bug.
