[Bug 570692] [NEW] Ubuntu 10.04 Can't open RFCOMM device: Permission denied

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: udev

Cannot open /dev/rfcomm4 new install Ubuntu 10.04. This worked fine in
Ubuntu 9.10.

I expected to see:
Connected /dev/rfcomm4 to 00:1C:88:30:11:45 on channel 1
Press CTRL-C for hangup

Instead I have recieved:
 Can't open RFCOMM device: Permission denied

Same issue happened in Jaunty
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/udev/+bug/374782) read
there that "rfcomm were not in the dialout group" Tried to add rule in
/etc/udev/rules.d/.

  KERNEL=="rfcomm*", GROUP="dialout" added in rules  worked one time
then recieved same error message (Can't open RFCOMM device: Permission
denied)

can this please be fixed in the Kernel, it affects many serial devices.
In this case for me a bluetooth GPS.

Thank you for your consideration and time,

Dragonneus
