<div>Hi Havoc,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Well I know that anonymous is supported by dbus in general (i.e. when writing a proprietary Client-Server over dbus) however I was asking specifically regarding dbus-daemon. To my knowledge in 1.1.2, specifying ANONYMOUS in the .conf file when running the daemon doesn't really mean that the daemon will work in this mode. You said once:
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Oh, there's also a dbus_connection_set_allow_anonymous() that has to be<br>called. The bus daemon does not call this. I would have to think more<br>about whether it would be safe/workable to patch the bus daemon to call
<br>it, or patch the bus daemon to call it if ANONYMOUS auth mechanism is<br>available.<br><br>Anyway, for now ANONYMOUS is something that has only been used with<br>custom servers, using it with the bus daemon has not been thought through."
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So now my question is whether it was thought through already or when (if ever) you're planning to do so? Is it your roadmap?<br><br><br> </div>
