You can advertise standard services in Linux using 'sdptool add ...' but
advertising is not the same as offering... To offer a real service, an
application has to be implemented and listening for clients at the
appropiate network protocols and ports. Maybe what it is happening in
windows is that most basic profiles are already implemented and
correctly advertised. With BlueZ you can also advertise them in order
to be seen by a remote device, but they won't work until you don't
implement them. I hope this helps.
