Lucky ;)

I think I have some hardware incompatibility problems, because my
logs are looking OK now, and the system device appears to transmit sound while
the headset acts like it's receiving sound (yet no sound).

Yes, there should be a binary auth-agent.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 8552 2008-02-05 02:13 /usr/bin/auth-agent

I've been starting both passkey-agent and auth-agent. I've not seen auth
failures in my logs now. Start them before you try to use remote device.

passkey-agent --default (pin) (addr of remote device) &
auth-agent &

Both should background. That's from trial and error, I've not seen that
documented anyplace. But it seems to work. YMMV.
