Does it use a session bus running > as the "ring" user? Aren't session buses normally used for "real" users? That's right. Ring is mainly intended to be used by real users logged on a desktop or a mobile platform. However, we'd like to port it to embedded platforms to cover a larger usage (m2m, video capture, door bell...). And this is why a fake 'ring' user has to be created and the D-Bus session address has to be exported. Is it possible to patch a package (dbus) "from" another one (ring-daemon)? Regards, Patrick
