Visibility

[Guido Falsi]

Today I was playing around a little with bluetooth and I had the fancy
to just make my FreeBSD system not visible via bluetooth by default.

I could not find any configuration to do this, nor any instruction in
the manual.

Is there a simple way to do this? is this supported(no problem in
writing small scripts or code snippets...) or simply impossibile without
major tinkering with the stack?

Thanks in advance, this is just an idea I had, nothing urgent!

You need to have "Inquiry Scan" off. You can switch this manually with
hccontrol(8) but I don't know how to make it so that it isn't turned on,
perhaps using bluetooth_device_discoverable=NO in your /etc/rc.conf?

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for. Checking the defaults
directory did not occur to me :)

Thanks also to Iain, His suggestion showed me how to enable visibility
on request, which can be quite useful!

Thanks again, sorry for the obvious question.
