Hi Fredrik,

the best place for Unix sockets is /tmp

>    /etc/bluetooth/names.conf     # The device name configuration file
>    /etc/bluetooth/names.socket   # The command socket

> Command examples:

>    SCAN            - Returns something similar to "hcitool scan"
>    LOOKUP <bdaddr> - Returns the name if available in the names file
>    DELETE <bdaddr> - Removes the name from the names file
>    LIST            - Lists all names in the names file

If we do it, this should be part of the Bluetooth library itself, so
programmers don't have to worry about it.

Regards

Marcel
