the /etc/bluetooth/pin support is removed from the current CVS. And I
even removed the PIN helper script support completely. So it is the near
future with the next blue-utils release which has been targeted for in
two weeks.

The syntax of the pincodes file is easy. It is a BD_ADDR and PIN code
pair per line. Like the names file etc.

And what kind of system should that be? All desktop systems are using
D-Bus and even the Nokia 770 and the new platform from PalmSource are
supporting it by default. So no reason to use something different than
D-Bus for PIN handling.
