Hi folks,
Is there a way to allow a script to run rfcomm to bind to a Bluetooth device
without having to make /usr/bin/rfcomm setuid-root or running the script as
root? And, ideally without prompting for a password too.
Background: I wrote a script ( www.eridani.co.uk/rfselect/rfselect.tcl ) that
sets up RFCOMM bindings to mobile phones and by doing so enables
NetworkManager's Mobile Broadband menus and allowing NetworkManager to look
after connecting to the internet over the mobile phone. (PANU-capable devices
show automatically upon pairing, but many phones don't support this.)
