Newbie:DBus message bus on multiple host?

[Havoc Pennington]

Hi,

See these threads:

To be clear, if you're using dbus for anything other than a normal
system bus or desktop session bus as used on Linux, you're on
experimental ground, and you may need to hack on dbus yourself to
figure out what you need.

There are two cases where I'm pretty sure TCP works. One is if you
have an NFS-mounted home directory and want to use your session bus
from a remote ssh session, then cookie auth based on a file in your
homedir should work. Two is if you don't use the bus daemon, but write
a custom DBusServer that allows anonymous connections.

Anything else most likely requires some kind of dbus enhancement.

If you describe what you are trying to do, someone might have some advice.
