Bluetooth?

I'm trying to get my laptop to trust my Palm 700p and vice
versa via
bluetooth.

I've read:
http://www.penguintutor.com/tutoria
ls/viewdoc.php?doc=linux-bluetooth-network

and followed the directions therein. Neither from the Treo
700p, nor
from the Ubuntu laptop in question, can I create the
trusted
relationship between the two devices. Anyone else run into
this? The
laptop is a Dell 640m Inspiron.

Here's what the box shows:

installed packages with the word 'blue' in them: (dpkg
--get-selections
| grep -v deinstall | grep blue | cut -f1)

bluefish
bluetooth
bluez-utils
gnome-bluetooth
kdebluetooth
kdebluetooth-irmcsync
libbluetooth2
libbluetooth2-dev
libmultisync-plugin-irmc-bluetooth
python-bluez


# lsmod | grep blue
bluetooth              55908  6 bnep,rfcomm,hidp,l2cap

# hciconfig
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:16:CF:FD:5E:03 ACL MTU: 1017:8 SCO

# hcitool scan 
Scanning ...
        00:07:E0:C0:0B:36       scott

At this point, from the palm, I attempt to set the laptop as
a trusted
device. The palm tells me that it is unable to connect to
scott-640m-0.

Anyone run into this before?

Currently that's more painful than it ought to be.

Yes.

Install bluez-passkey-gnome and it might work.

Pairing works on my laptop (Ubuntu 6.10) when I initiate it
from some
other device.  I do not remember exactly what I did to make
it work.
For the reference, I have both blues-passkey-gnome and
bluez-pin
installed, and my /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf has

  options {
    autoinit yes;
    security user;
    pairing multi;
    passkey "1234";
  }

I think installing bluez-passkey-gnome is enough, but if
not, check the
rest.
