Hi,

I added the --encrypt option to my /etc/defaults/bluetooth and restarted the 
deamon while running "bluez-pun --dbus". After a few seconds my keyboard 
worked again and hcitool con showed 

ACL XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX handle 42 state 1 lm MASTER AUTH ENCRYPT

But even though everything seemed to have worked fine, I wasnt asked for a 
pin... So my Question: Is everything really alright (and secure) now?


Regards,

Kilian
