Hi Filippo,

the idea of a default PIN for outgoing connections is actually kinda
stupid. You don't wanna do this on a system with input capabilities. And
so far we never had a default PIN for outgoing connections.

Check the bluez-gnome CVS repository. It now contains a fully
replacement for the bluez-pin that works with the new passkey agent
interface of hcid. It is only based on GTK and the D-Bus GLib bindings
and works pretty well so far.

Regards

Marcel
