Just out of curiosity: Why does Bluez no longer provide any kind of
deamon as a pin helper any more?

I mean, it's not like Bluetooth itself is limited to interactive systems
which rightly demand graphical interfaces nowadays. Stuff like NAP is a
classic client-server situation in which you don't want to use Gnome or
KDE apps on the server side and maybe not even on the client side.

The lack of such functionality is one of the reasons which still keep me
on bluez-2.25. (lack of user documentation and howtos for >=3.x is the
other reason, by the way).

Just my two cents,
