[Bluez-users] Tutorial on pans

[Robert Moskowitz]

I am running Centos 5.2 on a number of test systems and want to setup a 
bluetooth pan for managing these systems (the ethernet and wifi LANs are 
needed for the testing).  So this is a 'close' pan.  There will be 5 
systems in the pan; 4 test systems and one monitoring system.

Centos has bluez-libs 3.7-1.1 and bluez-utils 3.7-2.2

I don't need NAT or anything else.  I will be putting bluetooth 
headphones on some of these test systems for SIP testing.

Where can I find a tutorial on how to configure pand so as these systems 
come up the pan starts up, and it is 'secure' (as secure as anything 
with bluetooth is).

[Bluez-users] Can't start pand -- is the problem in /etc/rc.d/init.d/pand?

[Robert Moskowitz]

This is on Centos (RHEL 5, FC6ish):

I have been stepping into pand. There is nothing I can find on this list 
about getting pand working. There are some instructions on 
wifi.bluez.org that seem to be redhatish, but....

I have edited /etc/sysconfig/pand:

PANDARGS='--listen --role GN --master'


I have created a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bnep0:

DEVICE=bnep0
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=no
IPADDR=192.168.201.101
NETMASK=255.255.255.0


I run: service pand start

nothing happens.

I look at: /etc/rc.d/init.d/pand and see:

[ -x /etc/bluetooth/pan/system-up ] && /etc/bluetooth/pan/system-up

huh? My system does not have an /etc/bluetooth/pan directory. there is a

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-bnep

So I decided to create an /etc/bluetooth/pan/dev-up file as I found at: 
http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=598890

#!/bin/bash
ifup bnep0

Still nothing. pand is not starting and there are no messages in 
/var/log/messages



what am I missing here?
