There must be a way to set my computer to always expect a specific pin number so I don't have to type it on the computer to pair a device. I am building a carpc and will be using a pan network through my cell phone for internet. This carpc will not have a keyboard to enter a pin in case I need to repair the device. I guess I could pair it when there IS a keyboard attached but I figure it would be more convenient to not have to.

Is there a way to just set up bluez to expect a certain pin number and to allow a pair if I enter that number on the other device? The carpc has the gnome bluetooth applet running that takes care of pairing right now. Would I have to disable that? I don't see any options in it to accomplish what I want.

Thanks for any help

look at /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf, the answer is in the option section
