Do both of the machines support 2.1? The LegacyPairing property tells you
whether SSP is likely to be triggered or not when you try to pair. It
doesn't tell you whether other device supports SSP or not e.g. if your
local adapter is pre-2.1 (but if your local adapter is 2.1 capable the
property should be a good indicator of SSP support).

In theory it is possible to get a false positive for LegacyPairing if the
other device is 2.1 but for some reason has extended inquiry response
disabled (iirc the spec mandates EIR if SSP is enabled). However, if both
sides have bluez and 2.1 HW then both EIR and SSP should automatically be
get enabled by bluetoothd. If that's not happening we may have a bug
somewhere (which I haven't seen with any of my 2.1 adapters).
