Newbie:DBus message bus on multiple host?

[Sergey Struzh]

in addition to the patch mentioned in one of the threads, the attached patch
also enables ANONYMOUS access to the bus daemon. You will have to face the
security issue though in case you don't specify any AUTH mechanism in your
daemon's conf file (which implicitely means that ANONYMOUS is allowed too).

Good luck!
