Subject: Re: [Bluez-users] Logitech Traveler Headset. pin never seen and i am never asked.

I couldn't get it work with the latest or the previous version either.

Is this a bug in the program or a misconfigured set up?

If it is a bug, has it been varified as such and if so is it being fixed?

I *really* need to get this working.

> I have the same problem. It appears that the latest version of hcid no
longer recognizes the pin_helper definition inside the hcid.conf file.
As I am also running Debian (unstable) I hoped that the bluez-pin
package would be "linked" to the hcitool cc xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
> application and would pop up a window allowing me to enter a password
during the pairing phase. However, there is a dependancy problem and
the bluez-pin package cannot be installed. I crammed it in (using dpkg
-i --force-all) and the bluez-pin package installed and the hcid
application showed that a pin application was registered, but, when I
tried to pair I was never presented with a dialog box requesting a pin
and the pairing failed.

pin_helper option in hcid.conf must have broken a lot of working
bluetooth configurations.
