From: Jim Kuzdrall Subject: GNHLUG Nashua, Thr 16 Mar, Christopher Aillon on NetworkManager Date: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 17:38:29 Who : Christopher Aillon of Red Hat What : NetworkManager Where: Martha's Exchange Day : Thur 16 Mar (*THURSDAY*) Time : 6:00 PM for grub, 7:30 PM for presentation :: Overview All other programs on the system interact with NetworkManager over dbus, sending messages and receiving replies via the NetworkManager dbus API. This provides a flexible interface to user programs, without having to rely upon binary linking and deal with issues of binary compatibility. dbus provides security services and has been developed with a focus on security, and NetworkManager attempts builds on that base by isolating the network-controlling parts of the architecture from user-space programs, mainly through the facilities dbus provides.
