[Bluez-users] ciptool setuid

[Achim Bohnet <ach@mpe.mpg.de>]

Hi,

In debian members of group dip and dialout and use modem/isdn devices.
Unfortunately it looks like that one need to be root to run ciptool
and make the isdn controler via bluetooth available.

Question: Are there other methods to enable members of group dialout
to use ciptool that making it setuid root?  If not is it safe to
install ciptool by default like

=2Drwsr-x---    1 root     dialout      8368 2004-01-26 23:22 /usr/bin/cipt=
ool

So all group member of dialout can run it.  All capi devices are
accessible by dialout members:

# l /dev/capi*
crw-rw----    1 root     dialout   68,   0 2004-03-22 14:00 /dev/capi20
crw-rw----    1 root     dialout   68,   1 2004-03-22 14:00 /dev/capi20.00
crw-rw----    1 root     dialout   68,   2 2004-03-22 14:00 /dev/capi20.01

=46rom a look at the usage/source it seem that ciptool really only allows
to 'create'/'release' a capi controlers.

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
