Hi Dax!

First of all I'd like to say thanks for that excellent guide.

But there's one thing I'd like to see changed and one I'm missing:

First is pairing: I think we should stick with "security user".
Default dbus_pin_helper doesn't work atm (see bugzilla #160676), but the
normal pin_helper does. So instead of adding a _third_ helper we should
just use bluepin.

This also has the positive side effect that you don't need to disable
SELinux bluetooth protection.

If you use "security auto", simply "echo 1234 > /etc/bluetooth/pin" is
enough, you won't need the third helper in this case ether.


Second is creation of rfcomm devices. There is no /dev/recomm[0|1|2] in
FC3/4 by default because of udev. Do you have a *.rules file for rfcomm
or how did you get the devices?

I'm no friend of udev, so I wonder what the correct way to create them
is (mine is just a dirty hack).
