The kdbuswreck

> I'm going to reiterate what I said in my other post: D-Bus *already provides* the ability for a client to talk to "any object that implements a particular interface": simply replace the word "object" with "service" and "interface" with "object".

Meh, I screwed that comment up. I should have said: simply replace the word "object" with "connection" and "interface" with "service".

That is, a D-Bus client does not care what connection provides a particular service; it relies on bus policy for that to be authorized appropriately.

That being said, I have the feeling there is very little stopping some malicious piece of software from killing off gnome-keyring-daemon, say, and grabbing the org.freedesktop.secrets bus name before GNOME has a chance to restart the daemon.
