I put the following in /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf (this file is
automatically loaded via system.conf if it exists).  I've been using
it for about a year.

<busconfig>
  <policy context="default">
    <!-- Allow everything to be sent -->
    <allow send_destination="*" eavesdrop="true"/>
    <!-- Allow everything to be received -->
    <allow eavesdrop="true"/>
    <!-- Allow anyone to own anything -->
    <allow own="*"/>
    <!-- XXX: Allow all users to connect -->
    <allow user="*"/>
  </policy>
</busconfig>
