OS X 10.4.5 - Bluetooth prefs not global

As the title says, Bluetooth prefs are per-account. You can turn off discoverability and set Bluetooth off in a primary admin account, and then when you switch to another user account, it's back on and discoverable again, since that is the default.

(I have both an admin account I use at home behind my firewall, and a separate non-admin wireless roaming account I use when on another wireless network e.g. at the airport.)

So if you want to be sure your Bluetooth is off, you have to set it in each account. posted by Richard at 08:24 / permalink (post) | permalink (numeric)
