Hi guyz,

I'm desperatly trying to make my dbus-daemon binds on all network interfaces ...

I used :
<listen>tcp:port=6666</listen>
 --> But it binds only on (loopback/localhost/127.0.0.1) as shown by netstat :
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:6666          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

If doing :
<listen>tcp:host=192.168.0.1,port=6666</listen>
--> The binding is only done in my eth0(192.168.0.1) as shown :
tcp        0      0 192.168.0.1:6666     0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

And Of course ;o) 
<listen>tcp:host=*,port=6666</listen> is invalid !

So my question is : Is it possible to bind on all interface with a single 'listen' directive or should i add as many listen a i got network interfaces ?

On the other hand, i would like to know if UDP is used by DBUS or if it only relies on TCP ?

Thanks for all. Have a nice 1.0.0 release party ! ;o)
