you don't got my point, because you are talking about two different
thinks. An inetd like daemon must know of the SDP records when it is
listening on the RFCOMM channels, because it must advertise them first
before another device can detect this service and make use of it. What
you are running is a wrapper for SDP record registration and RFCOMM
listen/accept commands.

Marcel
