it is the root of the public browse group.

Yesterday I checked in a patch that doesn't make it public anymore. If
you use the sdpd from CVS, you will get a clean public browse group
until you start it with the -p or --public parameter.

The -n means no detach and thus the sdpd is blocking your terminal until
you terminate it. Basically this mode is for debugging and testing only.

The -m will force a role switch for a connecting device. In general it
is not a good idea to use it, but in some corner cases you may wanna be
able to do so.

Regards

Marcel
