Hi Pavel Strashkin

    When I commented the <auth> tag of system.conf in host,the log
seems different.
    send(4, "BEGIN\r\n", 7, MSG_NOSIGNAL)   = 7 can be found in the
log.It seems auth problem has been solved. Thanks.
    But the final result is the same.
    "Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply"
==========================
send(4, "AUTH ANONYMOUS 6c696264627573203"..., 43, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 43
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, -1)    = 1 ([{fd=4, revents=POLLIN}])
read(4, "OK aea9a11a911a04d6f9f17b7600000"..., 2048) = 37
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLOUT}], 1, -1)   = 1 ([{fd=4, revents=POLLOUT}])
send(4, "BEGIN\r\n", 7, MSG_NOSIGNAL)   = 7
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=4, revents=POLLOUT}])
sendmsg(4, {msg_name(0)=NULL,
msg_iov(2)=[{"l\1\0\1\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0u\0\0\0\1\1o\0\25\0\0\0/org/fre"...,
136}, {"", 0}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 136
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {71916, 842663193}) = 0
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 1 ([{fd=4, revents=POLLIN}])
read(4, "", 2048)                       = 0
close(4)                                = 0
write(2, "Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error"..., 253Error
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible
causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the
message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout
expired, or the network connection was broken.
) = 253
exit_group(1)                           = ?
