Yeah, the documentation isn't obvious.  Look in "man dbus-daemon" for
the <listen> section.  More specifically, take your
/etc/dbus-1/whatever.conf and change the <listen> line from something
like this:

   <listen>unix:tmpdir=/tmp</listen>

to something like this:

   <listen>tcp:port=1234</listen>

Apparently you can have more than one <listen> section and it'll
listen on all of them, but I've never tried it.

Have fun,

Avery
