I think that Michael already answered all your questions: http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/smartphones-userland/2009-March/001252.html I would like to stress that while frameworkd is something peculiar to a smartphone, it is possible to install on desktops as well, where you do not want a user to have access to everything. > what exactly is the difference between the messagebus group and the > rights our group/s need/s? I am not a group expert nor a D-Bus one, but AFAIK the messagebus group can access every D-Bus application you are running, which is quite unfortunate. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
