Hi, My application scan for devices, send file to it. But some device (blackberry) will request a pin. With the bluetoothd 4.51. bluetooth-applet will pop up and enter a pin. If de-install it, the bluetoothd will complain "No agent available for 0 request (pin_code_request?).". And the remote device failed to pair with a "default pin 0000".
Is there a way to force a default pin "0000". look like /etc/bluetooth/pin is history. Is there a simply work around.

Do you have the sources of 4.51 ? . I remember a command line utility
named simple-agent in test folder ( the location might have changed)
which i had used to pair.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Nel

In the directory /var/lib/xx:yy:xx:yy:xx:yy/
where xx:yy:xx:yy:xx:yy is your Bluetooth interface MAC
you will either find or have to create two files:
pincodes
trusts
Assuming that your other device is aa:bb:aa:bb:aa:bb you
modify the files as follows:
In the pincodes file, add a line like this, replace 0000
with your desired pincode
aa:bb:aa:bb:aa:bb 0000
In the trusts file, put this:
aa:bb:aa:bb:aa:bb [all]
Which says the device can access all services (I think)
If the pairing is sucessful you will get a new
entry in the linkkeys file, and that key will then be
used in the future, so no more pairing is required.
I am currently investigating why (in 4.57) the linkkeys
and trusts entry of a successfully paired device are
sometimes deleted.

Sorry, that's /var/lib/bluetooth/xx:yy:xx:yy:xx:yy/

Ralph,Nel,
Thanks for the hints.
Since I will need to use the same pin code for every devices and I will not know their address before hand. In the pincodes file could we use
* 0000
I will try it out first.

Or, you could scan for new devices and then you'd know the MAC...

Ralph,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I ended up changing the test/simple-agent and get it to return "0000". It pair ok with the fix pin now.
