No, as they are passive components they should be set to passiv.
It's the task of the design rule checker to decide wheter it is ok to 
connect a passiv element to an input or an output.

@Marc
Take a look at the DRC backends and study the DRC matrices to understand 
the concept of the pintype attribute.
For example the gnet-drc2.scm file.

No, but please add the command you've executed when copying the output 
of the command.

It would be useful too if you'd use the reply button of your mail 
client.
