Tim,
Having captured and debugged the various scenarios with EIGRP neighbors and
passive interfaces, I believe I can confirm your understanding: EIGRP passive
interfaces will not form neighbors. They do not send hellos and will not
accept them from others. With neighbor statements, all updates and hellos are
unicast. The passage cited from the config guide is not necessarily
contradictory. It only says that the neighbor-passive command permits control
of neighboring on a LAN.
Without passive or neighbors, all EIGRP routers in the same AS on a LAN would
form neighbors. If some EIGRP routers on the link should not form
adjacencies, you can make them passive. Using neighbors, you can make routers
1,2 and 3 adjacent, and routers 4,5 and 6 adjacent, even if all are on the
same LAN and in the same AS.
HTH,
Bob Sinclair

Hmmm, that seems to contradict my first point. Looks like this needs to be
put to the test.

Hi,
I agree too. But, how about this:

Usage Guidelines
This command permits the point-to-point (nonbroadcast) exchange of routing
information. When used in combination with the passive-interface router
configuration command, routing information can be exchanged between a
subset
of routers and access servers on a LAN.
