Turns out that despite all config-file hackery
this needs a custom
patched dbus server to work. The patch is less then 10 lines but the
mainline refuses to include it afaik. Which makes the whole anonymous
authorization in dbus useless.
I've heard that the anonymous stuff is in git
and will be released in
1.4. OTOH if I was using such thing, I'd want ssh tunelling. I havent
tried ssh tunelled dbus, but it looks someone else did:
