Marcel, why don't you simply put this often repeated sentence into a comment 
in default hcid.conf right above auth/encrypt? If people are not familiar 
with bluetooth, then it's reasonable to assume that you have to enable this 
if you want any security at all. You don't expect everbody to know what 
security mode 3 means and what the alternatives are, do you?

Fred
