Hope this is not a silly question but where can I find the sdp daemon to start it?
I'm trying to connect an HP PDA with BlueTooth and although I can send files to it, it seems I need sdpd running to get a proper network connection. According to /etc/rc.d/bluetooth it should be in /usr/sbin/sdpd but it isn't and "$ sdpd" results in "command not found". It consequently doesn't appear when starting bluetooth or grepping ps.
Related packages installed are:
blueman 0.3-5
bluez-firmware 1.2-2
bluez-gnome 0.25-1
bluez-libs 3.32-1
bluez-utils 3.32-1
gnome-bluetooth 0.11.0-2
python-pybluez 0.15-2
obex-data-server 0.3-3
openobex 1.3-2
I did find an old Ubuntu bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … +bug/97297) saying that sdpd had been removed from bluez-utils and hcid -s should be used but this doesn't seem to have any effect.
Any help gratefully appreciated.

network connection? You want your PDA to start internet sharing?

Also. Most likely sdpd is replaced by sdptool

Sorry - I meant I seem to need sdpd running on my laptop to become a host for my PDA. I tried sdptool as well but only briefly. I'll give it another shot tonight.
Thanks for replying.

By default sdpd is turned off and hcid's internal daemon is used. You can enable it in /etc/conf.d/bluetooth.

the "sdp" daemon is even removed from recent Bluez versions. BTW, SDP is the service discovery protocol, it's only a way for bluetooth devices to discover what each supports.
To setup PAN (personal area network) you need to enable it in Bluez, and that will start the pand daemon.

sdpd has been replaced with bluetoothd in anything > 4.6 and maybe earlier AFAIK
`bluetoothd -n -d 5` and `sdptool browse local` - work through /var/run/sdp (a datagram file created by the daemon)
any problems with these tools will be revealed by strace
I noticed there is syslogging through /dev/log (which appears to be disabled in debian by default)

And there is hcitrace -n -d to make sure it is all working
