Hi Thiago,

I thought given the ability to change the address via environment setting,
it would be easy to extend that direction, so I appreciate the warning
that it isn't simple. There are probably ways to avoid machine-to-machine
communication for what I am trying to do.

What would be an appropriate address to use for qdbusviewer and the
car/car controller example for running on a single machine? If nonce-tcp
is the right choice, is there an example of creating the noncefile and how
to pass the shared secret?
I just want to get a simple example up and running.
Thanks again,
Brett
