No, the PIN is only needed for Pairing bluetooth devices. The /etc/bluetooth/pin specifies a lasting key you take for every connection. It is taken instead of the key you insert in the dialog-box for incoming connections. The PIN you insert is stored nowhere, but the devices generate a link-key from the pin and other data, this stored in the /etc/bluetooth/link_key. nicholas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the new InstallShield X. >From Windows to Linux, servers to mobile, InstallShield X is the one installation-authoring solution that does it all.
