Debugging Policies

[christo...@googlemail.com]

Hello!

I am trying to debug the DBus-Policy issues I have. For that reason I am searching a way to retrieve the policy database the broker is using. Is that possible?

Or is there a way to show, how a policy deny or allow was deduced?

Best Regards

There is currently no way to dump the database. The journal-entry
should contain some additional information in the auxiliary fields
(see `journalctl --output=verbose`).

You are always more than welcome to ask for help on the mailing-list
(or FWIW on the `dbus-devel` mailing list). In most cases I highly
recommend keeping policies trivial, since they are huge CPU hogs and a
mess to debug.

Do you have a specific situation that you want to debug?

Thanks
David
