Hi
i've setup bluez on my linux laptop with a blue tooth usb dongle, I can see the phone and access the phone but when i attempt to pair with the command

rfcomm conenct 0 1

It comes up on my phone and says "laptop wants to pair"

I click accept and it asks for a password... I dont know what password it wants. I did not specificy a password when running rfcomm and rfcomm has no options to specify a password that i can find. is there a way to disable the phone from asking for a password?

thanks

-Nick

I'm not sure what distro you're using, etc. However, somewhere you should have an hcid.conf file (mine's in /etc/bluetooth). That file has a "pin_helper" configuration parameter. Now's where it get's fuzzy. On my debian system it's set to /usr/bin/bluez-pin. That file looks for /etc/bluetooth/pin and reads the number from there. Mine defaulted to "1234". I don't know what other distributions (like redhat, mandrake, suse, etc.) do for their pin_helper.

If is it password for pairing - give whatever you want - this will also on phone´s screen... There´s no difference between Win or Linux...
