Bluetooth SDP daemon problem

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with the bluetooth SDP daemon.

I've installed the bluez and bluez-utils package and, enabled and started the bluetooth service.
However, when running 'sdptool browse local' I get an error:

Failed to connect to SDP server on FF:FF:FF:00:00:00: No such file or directory

To my understanding, there should be a file/pipe/socket /var/run/sdp created by the SDP daemon, but it isn't there so I suspect the SDP daemon isn't even running.

However, when looking at the status of the bluetooth daemon, the output tells me the SDP daemon is started.

[lars@skynet ~]$ sudo systemctl status bluetooth
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service

So I'm lost. Does anybody have any ideas?

I found this: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-blue … 36894.html

(works for me)
