We sould investigate more to avoid future problems. Another thing are the rules. at_console aims provide a way to refer to users that are not physically sitting in front of the computer. I tested send D-Bus messages from the local host or connected through ssh and I didn't noticed differences. I mean, the behaviour is the same. Remote users still able to send D-Bus messages. * Device->Adapter Maybe should be better if we rename the function names and constants too. Or remove the prefix "dev" and "DEV". These prefixes were added to avoid confusion when all functions were in the same file. * Error I noticed that there are different handling of hci_open_dev result. I found bluez_new_failure_msg and error_no_such_device calls to handle the same error. I will send a patch to use the same approach. Regards, Claudio.
