Hi
iwas using a socket bluetooth card and fig labs software to connect to my phone. I scanned for suitable sources and found my phone and one other source ( blue man group or something. I chose my phone connection and connected to this When i got home i checked the obex inbox and found a 300kb file in there from blue man group (video) just surprised as to how this had got there as i had not connected to the network and had not 'paired' any connection. bit worrying really. keef |

aparentlly there are some buletooth bilboards around
might want to tighten up the security so that obex needs authentication and pairing with a key, if it dosent need a key then anyone can set up the pairing without your involment afaik |

check your /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf for the encryption and authentication settings.
