tcp on remote machine

[Ryan Saunders]

I've been working on a patch to integrate libsasl2's auth mechanisms into dbus, which'll give dbus a host of new auth options, including user/pass, kerberos, NTLM, etc. It's not totally finished yet, but close...just needs a free weekend or two for me to complete it. I can send you what I've got if you're interested in messing around with it.

At the moment, there is no remote authentication method implemented and
dbus-daemon does not accept anonymous connections. This means that you
cannot successfully connect to a remote dbus-daemon via tcp.

In this bug report a patch has been proposed to allow anonymous
connections to dbus-daemon:

With this patched dbus-daemon I successfully connected multiple
dbus-clients from a local area network to a common bus.
