Hello

I noticed, that when I start sdpd, there's this service:
Service Name: Public Browse Group Root
Service Description: Root of public browse hierarchy Service Provider: BlueZ
Service RecHandle: 0x10000
Service Class ID List:
"Browse Group Descriptor" (0x1001)
Language Base Attr List:
code_ISO639: 0x656e
encoding: 0x6a
base_offset: 0x100

What is it is for?
I think I don't need it. How can I prevent it from starting? Is only [sdptool del 0x10000] an option?

what are the -n and -m switches for in sdpd? -n is documented in the manpage but sdpd detaches anyway if i use -n...

regards
Marco

Yesterday I checked in a patch that doesn't make it public anymore. If you use the sdpd from CVS, you will get a clean public browse group until you start it with the -p or --public parameter.

The -n means no detach and thus the sdpd is blocking your terminal until you terminate it. Basically this mode is for debugging and testing only.

The -m will force a role switch for a connecting device. In general it is not a good idea to use it, but in some corner cases you may wanna be able to do so.
