this one for instance:

chmod u+x /home/user/bluetooth-pan.sh

and

echo "/home/user/bluetooth-pan.sh" | sudo gainroot
You'd reverse the chmod command by using "-" instead of "+" there, but that won't do anything useful here. You'd need to reverse everything that was actually carried out by the "/home/user/bluetooth-pan.sh" script. If you post the contents (cat /home/user/bluetooth-pan.sh) then someone might be able to help with a reversal script.

If the permissions were set to 755 as I suggested, then everything should be able to read it. Do you have any examples of things that can't see the directory at all?
