[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#387542: bluez-utils: wrong permissions hcitool

[Arnout Boelens]

Package: bluez-utils
Version: 3.1-4+b1
Severity: normal

I have a bluetooth headset I want to connect to as a normal user. I am in the
dialout group and can perform a "hcitool scan". However if I want to connect to
the headset using "hcitool cc <bdaddr>" I get a "Can't create connection:
Operation not permitted". When I am logged in as root, connecting works
perfectly.
