Is it possible to rfcomm bind as an unpriveledged user?  My naive
attempts, e.g.:

  $ rfcomm bind 0 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
  Can't create device: Operation not permitted

... are obviously not working.  Works fine as root.

This is on a Debian/unstable box, custom-compiled vanilla kernel
v2.6.12.4, with udev 0.068-1.

Any hints?

Thanks!

this has been done on purpose. You can use connect as normal user.

Regards
