2014-01-06DBus Spec: add document of bind for tcp/nonce-tcp transportChengwei Yang1-2/+19
tcp/nonce-tcp transport has a "bind" key, which can be specified a hostname and will override hostname specified in "host" key. "bind" has a special value "*" which means ip address 0.0.0.0 and will cause dbus-daemon listen on all interfaces.

The --with-dbus-session-bus-connect-address configure option and the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_CONNECT_ADDRESS CMake variable expect a connectable address, while the --with-dbus-session-bus-listen-address option and the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_LISTEN_ADDRESS variable expect a listenable address.

2013-11-27spec: explicitly mention filtering messages with no INTERFACESimon McVittie1-0/+9
This is an important security measure. Without it, the system bus would not deliver its intended security properties. The actual implementation has always behaved like this, I think. Bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68597 Reviewed-by: Chengwei Yang <chengwei.yang@intel.com>
2013-11-27Do not require messages without INTERFACE to be dispatchedSimon McVittie1-6/+10
Previously, if we have interfaces: interface com.example.foo: method Ambiguous() interface com.example.bar: method Ambiguous() method Unambiguous() implementations were required to deliver a message with no INTERFACE and METHOD=Unambiguous to "bar". A message with no INTERFACE and METHOD=Ambiguous could either be delivered to "foo", delivered to "bar" or treated as an error. Relax this to allow an error for the unambiguous case, too, and strongly recommend specifying the interface (which is best-practice).

In current dbus-daemon(1) implement, system .serivce must named after its owned name, but this is not the case for session .service. For session service, the result of multiple .service files own the same well known name is undefined since readdir(3) doesn't return dirent in a defined sequence.

2013-09-13Remove obscure "low-latency" parts in the introduction of specJustin Lee1-9/+4
According to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_%28engineering%29#Packet-switched_networks latency means "the time from the source sending a packet to the destination receiving it". Therefore, latency is unrelated to whether the operation is asynchronous or synchronous. And also unrelated to whether it's one-way or round-trip. Latency exists for asynchronous and one-way transfer, because for current DBus implementations we need at least one context switch to transfer each message from the sender process to the receiver process. Emphasizing D-Bus is low-latency could encourage user to abuse/misuse the system.

2013-09-03Allow dbus-daemon --nofork on WindowsSimon McVittie1-4/+10
On Windows, the dbus-daemon is not able to fork (daemonize). If someone explicitly requests forking, it should fail, but if someone explicitly requests *not* forking, there seems no harm in allowing it. A few of the regression tests specifically require a dbus-daemon that will not fork, so allowing this option on Windows means those tests don't need an extra OS condition.

DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID is not mandatory to set, but we should unset it if present, since it points to a different session's bus. Likewise for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_WINDOWID. Similarly, if DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE and DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS are set (as they would be under GNOME Terminal 3.8, see <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63119>) then they are likely to point to a different session's bus.
