Thanks, I don't have a HID device so I forgot all about them. Minor nits:
- the rcvar line is not necessary if you don't have/need a
bthidd_enable="YES" in rc.conf
- bthidd shoud probably REQUIRE: hcsecd, since I suppose the
communication wouldn't have been established without authentication
Thanks again,
Panagiotis
