Of course I should mention I need it for LINUX :) The --address seems to be a not documented command line parameter (I couldn't find it in dbus-daemon manual). I suppose it will override the <listen> token which in that case can contain any address. Is this correct? regards, Bogdan On 12/2/2013 19:30, Simon McVittie wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:529CD1B7.2060308@collabora.co.uk" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On 02/12/13 17:48, Bogdan Lotko wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Is it possible to use environment variables in D-Bus daemon configuration file? </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> No, but see below. </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">In particular I'd like to pass the host TCP address and the port number, or the whole address line to be placed in the <listen> tag. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> I think you can use something like: dbus-daemon --address="tcp:host=10.11.12.13,port=65432" (which is how systemd makes it listen on the systemd: pseudo-address). Or in fact, on Unix, you could pass in an already-listening TCP socket using the systemd LISTEN_FDS protocol, and tell it to listen on "systemd:". FWIW, if you find yourself needing to use TCP addresses (other than localhost-to-localhost TCP on Windows as a workaround for Windows' lack of AF_UNIX), you're probably some way outside the use cases that are actively maintained.
