[Bluez-users] Where did encrypt and passkey options go in Bluez-3.4

["Hentai Pantsu" <sugoi.sama@gmail.com>]

Hi,

*offtopic ->*
i had Debian unstable package of Bluez-3.1, but was forced to build
3.4 from scratch, and now things seems to be finally working thanks to
the undocumented (and secret?) feature of "discovto 0;"
Why isn't this feauture mentioned on the hcid.conf manual??? It caused
me sheer hours of pain and terror... and a lot of linux cursing.
*<- offtopic*



But what i would like to know is how can i encrypt my bluetooth
communications? The encrypt option went missing - it's stated on the
Changelog.

On hcid.conf i can only configure the default pin... How can i specify
a PIN for each BT device?
Ideally, i would like to be able to add some lines, on hcid.conf, like this:
client {
BDAddress 11:22:33:44:55:66;
PIN 2006;
}



One final question, i know it's silly, but i have to be sure...
Independently of using authentication or passkeys or not, is there any
way a BT device (e.g. phone) can issue a command for the computer to
send file /home/user/abc.txt to the device.
Is there any security risk like that?


Thank you for your help.
