[gentoo-user] problem with Bluetooth / BlueZ

[Steffen Becker]

Hello,

at first: my english is not very well, so i hope you understand me.
And I'm new to gentoo (new to linux at all), so I don't have a good 
comprehension of this OS (and that's why I write this "prose", because I 
don't know which information are important).

My problem is about Bluetooth/BlueZ and sadly i found out that not many 
gentoo-users are familiar with that - if someone of you is: please read 
the following:

What's my problem:
I have two gentoo-PCs and a Bluetooth-3.0-Dongle at each PC.
Some weeks ago, BlueZ-4.98 was installed and I had no problems to 
connect my devices with "rfcomm"-command and with "pand"-command. But 
then I wanted to sniff this connection with an air sniffer. For that I 
found out, that sniffing only works if I enable the so called "SSP Debug 
Mode". But "Enabling SSP Debug Mode" is no default feature of BlueZ, so 
I got a patch from the BlueZ-developer and i installed it. At the same 
time BlueZ-4.99 was released and I also installed that. With that patch 
I was able to sniff my rfomm-connection.
BUT since that I am not able to connect my devices via "pand"-command!

Maybe the installation of BlueZ4.99 or patch changed some 
bluetooth-configuration? I don't know. But if I run hcidump and try to 
connect via "pand", I get the message, that there is a "security block".

Hope anyone of you know what to do.

In addition: I think I have to change my security-configuration, but I'm 
not familiar with the syntax (and I hope I picked the right file to change):

In attachment you find the two hcidump-messages from both devices while 
I tried to connect via "pand".

And at last, here is the way I try to connect my devices:
PC2 # sdptool add NAP
PC2 # pand -s -r NAP -M
PC1 # pand -c <bdaddr>

Best regards,
Steffen
