Not right now. What I mean by "thought through" is for example, I don't 
know why you would want a bus daemon that allowed anonymous access. So 
step one in thinking it through is to describe (on this list) some of 
the use-cases. Then we could talk about how to add the feature (which 
would presumably be pretty simple, just have the bus daemon call 
set_allow_anonymous() if ANONYMOUS is one of the auth mechanisms, or 
something).

If the feature appears useful and we talk about how to add it, the 
remaining step would be for a volunteer to write a patch (which should 
be a very simple patch).

For the system and session bus, I don't know why ANONYMOUS would be 
useful - so I am guessing you are using the bus daemon for some other 
custom purpose, with a custom config file?

Havoc
