You pair using the CreatePairedDevice D-Bus method that BlueZ provides.
There are various front-ends that you can use to call this method. If
you've got GNOME installed then a pairing wizard should be just a few
mouse clicks away through the Bluetooth icon in the upper right-hand
corner. If you've only got the command line you can use e.g. the
simple-agent python script (under the test subdirectory):

	test/simple-agent hci0 <remote address>

Btw, is there something that the network plugin (which you can operate
using e.g. test/test-network) doesn't provide but pand does? We'll
probably remove pand from the source tree along with BlueZ 5.0 so it'd
be good to know any deficiencies it has.
