might be. You can however use "passkey-agent --default 0000" to be on
the safe side. There is a difference between the default passkey agent
and the application specific passkey agent.

Not needed to run it as root.

You can use /var/lib/bluetooth/00:07:61:1C:9F:D3/pincodes and add a line
with "00:0D:44:4F:37:72 0000" this will make the need of a passkey agent
for that specific remote device obsolete.

No. This PIN code is only for incoming connections.

This is Debian specific crap and has to go away anyway.

No longer supported as of 3.x releases.

That is of course the preferred way and the distribution should make it
work nicely for you. Especially since bluez-gnome now contains a really
good example for a passkey agent.
