You can use point-to-point DBus connections without a daemon if you for some reason desire that, but I don't see what's so bad about having the control socket using an pseudo-RFC2822 syntax and a DBus service which translates DBus messages to and from that syntax. XMLRPC and similar just looks like complete overkill here; parsing RFC2822 is fairly trivial with the C implementation in cdebconf weighing in at about 100 lines, including some comments and such. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
