2013-12-10bus: introduce "trusted" bus concept and encode access control in object vtablesLennart Poettering
Introduces a new concept of "trusted" vs. "untrusted" busses. For the latter libsystemd-bus will automatically do per-method access control, for the former all access is automatically granted. Per-method access control is encoded in the vtables: by default all methods are only accessible to privileged clients. If the SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED flag is set for a method it is accessible to unprivileged clients too. By default whether a client is privileged is determined via checking for its CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability, but this can be altered via the SD_BUS_VTABLE_CAPABILITY() macro that can be ORed into the flags field of the method. Writable properties are also subject to SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED and SD_BUS_VTABLE_CAPABILITY() for controlling write access to them. Note however that read access is unrestricted, as PropertiesChanged messages might send out the values anyway as an unrestricted broadcast. By default the system bus is set to "untrusted" and the user bus is "trusted" since per-method access control on the latter is unnecessary. On dbus1 busses we check the UID of the caller rather than the configured capability since the capability cannot be determined without race. On kdbus the capability is checked if possible from the attached meta-data of a message and otherwise queried from the sending peer. This also decorates the vtables of the various daemons we ship with these flags.

2013-07-02machined: split out machine registration stuff from logindLennart Poettering
Embedded folks don't need the machine registration stuff, hence it's nice to make this optional. Also, I'd expect that machinectl will grow additional commands quickly, for example to join existing containers and suchlike, hence it's better keeping that separate from loginctl.
