No. :( I am putting the bug report back into Cc. > I don't think you are alone at all in your dislike of dbus.

That was with 3.x packages, where the dbus configuration also gave members of the netdev group permission to send those messages, so once I added myself into that group, it worked. http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-bluetooth/packages/bluez-utils/trunk/debian/bluetooth-dbus.conf?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 Unfortunately, your 4.x packages install a dbus policy file that only relies on at_console, but there is no dependency or recommendation for libpam-foreground, which seems to be required for that to work. Right now, I can start bluetooth-applet, but when I connect a device, the applet prints to stderr: Agent registration failed: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.104" (uid=1000 pid=23264 comm="bluetooth-applet ") interface="org.bluez.Adapter" member="RegisterAgent" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.bluez" (uid=0 pid=21493 comm="/usr/sbin/bluetoothd")) Indeed, installing libpam-foreground and adding session required pam_foreground.so before pam_unix in /etc/pam.d/common-session, and logging in and out on tty1 does make things work. Unfortunately, that's not an acceptable migration path, nor do I know a migration path that does not involve the use reconfiguring PAM, which is really not good. Maybe ConsoleKit is possible, but that's a heavy dependency -- I for one do not appreciate all this newfangled permissions stuff (with capital letters of all things!!!) just to be able to use bluetooth. Also, I might want to use bluetooth on headless machines and thus without software written over at freedesktop.org. Instead, I suggest to investigate migrating the existing policy (or at least the underlying concepts) and grant members of netdev the rights to talk to bluetoothd. Why it's the netdev group, I don't know. Maybe introducing a bluetooth group would be better? -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems (on the statement print "42 monkeys"+"1 snake") btw, both perl and python get this wrong. perl gives 43 and python gives "42 monkeys1 snake", when the answer is clearly "41 monkeys and 1 fat snake". -- jim fulton
