Update of /cvs/dbus/dbus/tools
In directory gabe:/tmp/cvs-serv23786/tools

Modified Files:
	dbus-send.1 dbus-send.c 
Log Message:
2005-01-18  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * Throughout, grand renaming to strip out the use of "service",
	just say "name" instead (or "bus name" when ambiguous).  Did not
	change the internal code of the message bus itself, only the
	programmer-facing API and messages.
	
	* doc/dbus-specification.xml: further update the message bus section
	
	* bus/config-parser.c (all_are_equiv): fix bug using freed string
	in error case
