Public bug reported:

Hi all,
I'm reporting a problem on behalf of a friend of mine.

After the upgrade he was unable to connect to his mobile via the gnome ppp 
application.
Log message:
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot open /dev/rfcomm0: Permission denied
--> Cannot open /dev/rfcomm0: Permission denied
--> Cannot open /dev/rfcomm0: Permission denied

s -l /dev/rfcomm0 
crw-rw---- 1 root root 216, 0 2009-05-06 19:17 /dev/rfcomm0

$ ls -l /etc/udev/rules.d/
totale 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  761 2009-02-02 05:57 70-persistent-cd.rules

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1398 2009-04-09 02:19 README

Manually adding:
$ sudo chown username:users /dev/rfcomm0
to rc.local "fixed" the issue.

Yes, I know that's not the proper solution but I failed to understand
the udev rule.
