check the Bluetooth specification and understand the differences between
the security modes. Use only security mode 3 if you really know what you
are doing. Otherwise use the service level security features of L2CAP
and RFCOMM.

If you wanna do that with the bluez-utils prior 2.16 you need to write
your own PIN helper program. With 2.16 you can use a pincodes file for
these task.
