hi
I m modifying hcid.com lying in /etc/bluetooth for "security none"
which as per hcid.conf disables security manager.
So after that when I reboot my linux and then try to connect with
bluetooth headset BH-209 (Nokia) it doesn't connect to it.
Error is "Connection refused" which is because of no linkkey.
when I disable security manager why it checks for security???
Even I tried with "security auto" which reads local passkey that I
have set to "0000" and my BH-209 also have default PIN "0000", still
it prompts to enter passkey in bluetooth pairing & control wizard.
So I m confused...exactly how can we disable security manager for
simple connections?
Does changes in hcid.conf make any impact?
I m using bluez-4.30 on Fedora 9 (kernel 2.6.25-14)
pls help me to solve this...

with Bluetooth if only one side requires authentication and encryption
you have to do it (even if security is none). And all headsets require a
proper pairing.
