Re: [Bluez-users] auto pairing between client & server

[Marco Trudel <mtrudel@gmx.ch>]

I'm not sure if we talk about the same thing.
On outgoing connections, when encryption is demanded, the pin_helper, 
specified in hcid.conf is called and the output has to be like "PIN:1234".

If I wan't to use /etc/bluetooth/pin as this pin, I've to write a little 
pin_helper that outputs this pin.
My question now is: is it with the bluez packages >= 2.16 possible to avoid 
writing an own pin_helper? is hcid.conf configurable so that 
/etc/bluetooth/pin is automatically used for outgoing connections?

regards
Marco
