Thank you.
Will this stay for the next releses, or is it only a temporary solution?

Well, I'm not using D-Bus on WIndow Maker, Opie has no D-bus support
(for now). But I don't mean interactive systems. Rather those which
either have no X, or have no direct input methods at all (home server
sollusions, no screen, no keyboard).
I'm using an old PC as an BT gateway for couple of PDAs.

The truth is that, both for WM and my small gateway, I only need the
device-pin list and a way to disable any kind of prompt for PIN
for unknown devices.
If the support for the pincodes file is a permanent sollusion (one that
will remain in the next relese) then the D-Bus approach is as good for
me, as any other one.

My regards.
