Lightbulb Yet another bluetooth problem


I know that you must be sick of bluetooth questions by now, but I've read a ton of stuff and nothing helps. My problem is the passkey. I simply can't connect to a bluetooth device! I will post the full procedure I follow so you can correct me if I am wrong, and also for others with the same problem to reference to.

Here we go.

Code:
newholborn@darkstar:~$ hciconfig
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0
        DOWN
        RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0
        TX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 commands:0 errors:0
Nice.

Code:
newholborn@darkstar:~$ sudo hciconfig hci0 up
newholborn@darkstar:~$ hciconfig
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:02:72:C1:19:E3 ACL MTU: 377:10 SCO MTU: 64:8
        UP RUNNING
        RX bytes:85 acl:0 sco:0 events:9 errors:0
        TX bytes:33 acl:0 sco:0 commands:9 errors:0
All is well up to now. Let's try to find my cellphone.

Code:
newholborn@darkstar:~$ hcitool scan

        00:0E:6D:95:45:67       Proud like a god

newholborn@darkstar:~$ sudo l2ping 00:0E:6D:95:45:67

newholborn@darkstar:~$ sudo mkdir -p /dev/bluetooth/rfcomm
newholborn@darkstar:~$ sudo mknod -m 666 /dev/bluetooth/rfcomm/0 c 216 0
newholborn@darkstar:~$
Here's the channels for each service. I also took the liberty of creating the directory and device node I need
Now lets try to bluesnarf.

Code:
newholborn@darkstar:~$ sudo bluesnarfer -b 00:0E:6D:95:45:67 -C 2 -r 1-100
device name: Proud like a god
bluesnarfer: tcgetattr failed, Input/output error
bluesnarfer: bt_rfcomm_config failed
bluesnarfer: unable to create rfcomm connection
bluesnarfer: release rfcomm ok
newholborn@darkstar:~$
After it finds the device name, my phone asks me for the passkey. I enter "1234" but still, bluesnarfer gives me the error messages.

Here's my hcid.conf and /etc/bluetooth/passkeys/default files:

Code:
newholborn@darkstar:~$ sudo cat /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
#
# HCI daemon configuration file.
#

# HCId options
options {
        # Automatically initialize new devices
        autoinit yes;

        # Security Manager mode
        #   none - Security manager disabled
        #   auto - Use local PIN for incoming connections
        #   user - Always ask user for a PIN
        #
        security user;

        # Pairing mode
        #   none  - Pairing disabled
        #   multi - Allow pairing with already paired devices
        #   once  - Pair once and deny successive attempts
        pairing multi;

        # Default PIN code for incoming connections
        passkey "1234";
}

# Default settings for HCI devices
device {
        # Local device name
        #   %d - device id
        #   %h - host name
        name "BlueZ (%d)";

        # Local device class
        class 0x3e0100;

        # Default packet type
        #pkt_type DH1,DM1,HV1;

        # Inquiry and Page scan
        iscan enable; pscan enable;

        # Default link mode
        #   none   - no specific policy
        #   accept - always accept incoming connections
        #   master - become master on incoming connections,
        #            deny role switch on outgoing connections
        lm accept;

        # Default link policy
        #   none    - no specific policy
        #   rswitch - allow role switch
        #   hold    - allow hold mode
        #   sniff   - allow sniff mode
        #   park    - allow park mode
        lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;
}
newholborn@darkstar:~$sudo cat /etc/bluetooth/passkeys/default
1234newholborn@darkstar:~$
Why doesn't it work? Maybe something's wrong with the hcid.conf file?

Looking forward to your replies

And, yes, I LOVE SLACKWARE!
