just go into the code and replace SESSION with SYSTEM and create a D-Bus
security policy file for org.openobex.

I am not touching that code anymore, but that could be easily fixed :)

You will have to do some development since you can't expect that you can
just take open source stuff without any integration work. And that is
exactly what you have to do, integrate it. If patches come up during
this, then send them upstream and we likely include them and then next
time (next product) the integration work goes down.
