James Hunt has proposed merging lp:~jamesodhunt/upstart/disable-system-bus into lp:upstart.

Requested reviews:
  Upstart Reviewers (upstart-reviewers)

For more details, see:

* init/control.c: Typo.
* init/main.c: Add '--no-dbus' command-line option.
  init/man/init.8: Added '--no-dbus' option.

This option has the effect of stopping Session Inits having access to system-level events for those systems which require such behaviour; in such environments, even if the upstart-event-bridge is running, no events will (can) be proxied from the system level.

A side-effect of booting with '--no-dbus' is that a non-priv user will be unable to query system jobs using initctl (since such users will not have access to the private socket). However, for those making use of '--no-dbus', such behaviour would be deemed a security advantage rather than a limitation.
