I took the test-nap and changed it to the following (trying to get a Group Network working rather than a NAP): #!/usr/bin/python3 from optparse import OptionParser, make_option import sys import time import dbus import bluezutils import dbus.mainloop.glib try: from gi.repository import GObject except ImportError: import gobject as GObject bus = dbus.SystemBus() option_list = [ make_option("-i", "--device", action="store", type="string", dest="dev_id"), ] parser = OptionParser(option_list=option_list) (options, args) = parser.parse_args() adapter_path = bluezutils.find_adapter(options.dev_id).object_path server = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object("org.bluez", adapter_path), "org.bluez.NetworkServer1") service = "gn" if (len(args) < 1): bridge = "pan0" else: bridge = args[0] dbus.mainloop.glib.DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True) mainloop = GObject.MainLoop() server.Register(service, bridge) print("Server for %s registered for %s" % (service, bridge)) print("Press CTRL-C to disconnect") mainloop.run() I then took the test-network script and ran it on the master like this: ./test-network 5C:F3:70:XX:XX:XX gn But still received the same security block error. Here are the lines form the HCI dump again: > ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x02 dlen 12 L2CAP(s): Connect req: psm 15 scid 0x0041 < ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x00 dlen 16 L2CAP(s): Connect rsp: dcid 0x0041 scid 0x0041 result 1 status 2 Connection pending - Authorization pending < ACL data: handle 11 flags 0x00 dlen 16 L2CAP(s): Connect rsp: dcid 0x0041 scid 0x0041 result 3 status 0 Connection refused - security block I did change the /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf file thinking that might be the issue. Here is the configuration file after I changed it: <!-- This configuration file specifies the required security policies for Bluetooth core daemon to work. --> <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd"> <busconfig> <!-- ../system.conf have denied everything, so we just punch some holes --> <policy user="root"> <allow own="org.bluez"/> <allow send_destination="org.bluez"/> <allow send_interface="org.bluez.Agent1"/> <allow send_interface="org.bluez.MediaEndpoint1"/> <allow send_interface="org.bluez.MediaPlayer1"/> <allow send_interface="org.bluez.Network1"/> <allow send_interface="org.bluez.NetworkServer1"/> <allow send_interface="org.bluez.ThermometerWatcher1"/> <allow send_interface="org.bluez.AlertAgent1"/> <allow send_interface="org.bluez.Profile1"/> <allow send_interface="org.bluez.HeartRateWatcher1"/> <allow send_interface="org.bluez.CyclingSpeedWatcher1"/> <allow send_interface="org.bluez.GattCharacteristic1"/> <allow send_interface="org.bluez.GattDescriptor1"/> <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager"/> <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties"/> </policy> <!-- allow users of bluetooth group to communicate --> <policy group="bluetooth"> <allow send_destination="org.bluez"/> </policy> <policy at_console="true"> <allow send_destination="org.bluez"/> </policy> <!-- allow users of lp group (printing subsystem) to communicate with bluetoothd --> <policy group="lp"> <allow send_destination="org.bluez"/> </policy> <policy context="default"> <allow send_destination="org.bluez"/> </policy> </busconfig> But even changing the bluetooth.conf file did not help. Still getting the security block error. This works perfectly if I try to connect with the NAP scenario but I keep getting the security block error when I connect with the GN scenario and I really need the GN scenario working since I do not want routing. Is this a bug with bluez? It does seem that others are having the same issue by Maxime's reply and I also ran across this in stack overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32520581/bluez-pan-gn-server-connection-refused-when-nap-server-is-down Any help or advice would be appreciated.
