Running # find / -type d -iname \*blue\* -exec dpkg -S {} \; yields /etc/bluetooth, /usr/libexec/bluetooth, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/bluetooth, /usr/share/doc/bluez as belonging to the package bluez, so (regardless of which permissions of which directories should be set differently, why, and how) the warning better be more specific and provide the full path to the directory, whichever it might be. (“Configuration” hints to /etc/…, but you never know ….) As for ConfigurationDirectoryMode, the machine in question on has the following in /usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service: [Unit] Description=Bluetooth service Documentation=man:bluetoothd(8) ConditionPathIsDirectory=/sys/class/bluetooth [Service] Type=dbus BusName=org.bluez ExecStart=/usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd NotifyAccess=main #WatchdogSec=10 #Restart=on-failure CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_NET_ADMIN CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE LimitNPROC=1 # Filesystem lockdown ProtectHome=true ProtectSystem=strict PrivateTmp=true ProtectKernelTunables=true ProtectControlGroups=true StateDirectory=bluetooth StateDirectoryMode=0700 ConfigurationDirectory=bluetooth ConfigurationDirectoryMode=0555 # Execute Mappings MemoryDenyWriteExecute=true # Privilege escalation NoNewPrivileges=true # Real-time RestrictRealtime=true [Install] WantedBy=bluetooth.target Alias=dbus-org.bluez.service Now, a warning should warn the user or at least the admin. I admit, I feel warned. In plain English, what is it that could/should make me unhappy? What kind of havoc might occur to me, and how to avoid it? Gratefully, AlMa
