Hi Marcel,
so I wrote this code in 2009 as it seems. I can not even judge if my
code is correct or your change is the correct one. It has been too
long ago. You would need to convince me which one is the correct
behavior when it comes to PolicyKit.
quoting polkit documentation for subject struct,
"This struct describes subjects such as UNIX processes. It is
typically used to check if a given process is authorized for
an action."
so as far as I can see, the struct should describe the caller of
the D-Bus method, not bluetoothd itself, if the idea is to limit certain
methods to authorized callers only.
In the end I don't know if polkit offers much over D-Bus daemon based
authorization, and I chose not to use polkit for my needs, but wanted to
point out the issue nevertheless if someone else might face the same
problem.
BR,
H.
