LinuxQuestions.org - Bluetooth pairing not persistent

Forgive me if networking is the incorrect forum for a Bluetooth question. Please if I am in the wrong place, point me to the correct location. Thanks

I'm on lubuntu and all packages are fully updated, including blueman and all bluez

I'm using RFCOMM to connect to my Nokia 6102i phone.

I can get it to connect with rfcomm, but it requires a passcode or a pin for each time I make a connection. is there a way to make this persistent once they are paired?

Steps I have taken to rectify:

I have the phone MAC address flagged in blueman as a trusted device
I have the pairing profile on the phone set to "Auto connect without confirmation"
I have deleted the pairing profile on the phone many times
I have tried other Lunix OS's (PCLinuxOS presents the EXACT same problem)
I have rebooted phone
I tried this on my blackberry, and get different prompts, but still get an accept / deny popup, asking to validate a pin

Here's my RFCOMM.conf:

Quote:

#
# RFCOMM configuration file.
#
rfcomm0 {
bind yes;
device 00:18:C5:94:23:F6;
channel 3;
}
rfcomm1 {
bind yes;
device 40:5F:BE:30:36:C7;
channel 3;
}

I posted this question on freenode #bluez-users and got the response

Define workstation as trusted device on mobile network terminal

Unfortunately I do not know what a mobile network terminal is, but I thought I have the device flagged as trusted in all possible locations

Details on exactly what I'm doing:

in a root terminal I run: rfcomm connect 0

Phone prompts me to input a passcode. After I enter passcode, I get a popup on my machine called pairing request, asking me to put in a PIN code. They match, great and I'm good to go for that session.

Unfortunately, I need to go through this passcode process every time. I'm looking to automate the connection, so there is no need to input a PIN/Passcode everytime.

I have scrubbed the net looking for someone who has this problem, and cannot find any documentation.

Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi (aka LinuxQuestions.org), you're my only hope...

Thanks
