What about users that hasn't dhcdbd neither network-manager, like me?

Actually, the bug is not in dbus, but in avahi-daemon:
=====
luca at gismo:~$ grep -r netdev /etc/dbus-1/
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/avahi-dbus.conf:  <!-- Allow everything, \
 including  access to SetHostName to users of the group "netdev" -->
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/avahi-dbus.conf:  <policy group="netdev">

luca at gismo:~$ dlocate avahi-dbus.conf
avahi-daemon: /etc/dbus-1/system.d/avahi-dbus.conf

luca at gismo:~$
=====

And it's already reported as bug #385495 [1], thus I'm reassinging it
to avahi-daemon and merging with the old one.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
