No, this is part of the security profile. Signals can be sent to specific addresses though so as to not break privacy. That I would ask on the D-Bus list. I can't remember what the syntax for that is in python. As for getting network connections user processes should be able to do that. If you are in need of secure ports I would strongly recommend working with the core OLPC developers to make sure it isn't bypassing the security framework. -- John (J5) Palmieri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
