[systemd-devel] Random session bus availability with systemd

Thanks for your helpful comments. This setup is intended to boot
directly into an application w/o any user interaction and to run the
application w/o root privileges. You're right, either setting User or
using sudo is redundant. Using PAMName would request a password which
isn't suitable in this case.

It is. However sometimes it happens that some interfaces are not
properly published on the session bus, which used to work before - but
perhaps it is a coincidence with some other changes like moving from
dbus 1.6 to 1.8 - so I'll need to dig deeper there...
