Hi,

I was asked to set up a linux (debian) box, which has an usb bluetooth
dongle, and which would allow anyone passing by and having a bluetooth
enabled device, to fetch some file from the server.

Unfortunately, I'm really stuck with all this, too many TLAs. I
managed to run hciconfig listing the dongle, to scan and inquire a
cellphone and to use l2ping on the MAC address. But there doesn't seem
to be a way to make a basic filetransfer.

When trying with obexftp, the celphone will asked for a PIN, when I
enter that which is written in /etc/bluetooth/pin, but then it just
hangs. In daemon.log, I can see the messages from hcid
"link_key_request" and "pin_code_request" but nothing else. After some
time, both obexftp desists, and the Motorola celphone would reboot. I
have been looking for some sort of debug mode of hcid, but couldn't
find any flag. I also changed the pin_helper line in the config file
to be a shellscript which just outputs "PIN:1234", but still doesn't
work. (the script is executable and works on the shell).

Thus, my first question is, what do I need to do to make this work. I
should work, right? And the second question is, what kind of service I
would have to setup, such that anybody can get some files prepared on
that server, with the minimum hassle of typing pincodes.

Thanks,

-- 
Chris
