[Bluez-users] problems with permissions for sdp local

[Bluez-users] problems with permissions for sdp local

[Wolfgang Buesser]

I am using a USB-bluetooth dongle to my mobile phone.

Everything seems to work fine when I am logged in as root.
As normal user kbluetoothd complains

>Failed to connect to the SDP server.
>Please make sure that sdpd is running
>without it, other devices will not be able to find out

When I run 'sdptool browse local' as normal user I get:
>Failed to connect to SDP server on FF:FF:FF:00:00:00: Permission denied

When I run it as root I get:
>Browsing FF:FF:FF:00:00:00 ...
>Service Name: OBEX Object Push
>Service RecHandle: 0x10000
>Service Class ID List:
>  "OBEX Object Push" (0x1105)
>Protocol Descriptor List:
>  "L2CAP" (0x0100)
>  "RFCOMM" (0x0003)
>    Channel: 10
>  "OBEX" (0x0008)
>Profile Descriptor List:
>  "OBEX Object Push" (0x1105)
>    Version: 0x0100

Browsing for the remote device works for both, root an normal user.

So here is my question:
What controls the permissions to access the local interface with sdp?
Is this am matter of udev?
How can I change these permissions?

Thanks
	Wolfgang

have you started hcid with the -s option? Do you have SELinux or
something alike activated?

Regards

Marcel
