What version of bluez is it? Since version 3.8.0, I think, they moved to a DBus-based PIN request protocol (instead of the older system which based on a helper script). Thing is, I hardly managed to make this thing work :( Surely not with KDE's KBluetooth or GNOME's applet. I had to run some "sample" PIN helper which you can find in the BlueZ tarball -- since it's considered a sample application, it's not a part of the Fedora RPMs.

Hi people, I tried to play a bit with the bluetooth with my Nokia 6230 and Fedora Core 6. The bluetooth device inside my Thinkpad works great, I can see the list of devices from the command line, etc, but when it comes to authentication - it fails.. I searched google and saw that many people use the pin_helper option inside /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf and it should point to a simle script (or a KDE app or GNOME app) which should send a string for authentication which you need to repeat it on your cell keyboard (called: "pair process"). I did a small test: tried to pair my Nokia to the Dial Up service. I can see on my cell that it wants to pair and it asks me for my PIN key. I'm typing the exact same key that I given in my script and yet, it always fails.. Has anyone had this problem before? Thanks, Hetz -- Skepticism is the lazy person's default position.
