[systemd-devel] [PATCH 1/2] bus-util: add ssh and polkit connection methods

[Umut Tezduyar]

Hi,

Speaking about ssh, are sd_bus_open_system_remote() and
bus_connect_system_ssh() doing similar things? bus_connect_system_ssh
expects the "unixexec:" support from dbus library. Can
bus_connect_system_ssh be replaced with sd_bus_open_system_remote so
we won't be dependent on latest (Seems like support has been in since
2012 :) https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35230 ) dbus
library.

Thanks
