The server is set to survival, peace mode is set to false.

If peace mode is set to false, why shouldn't the bears be aggressive?

So if you want it to be peaceful, you have to set it to true.

well, your title says something different ... but ok, you seem to know how the settings work

There are three possible situations where aggressive animals won't attack:

1. Either the Settings_PeacefulMode option is set to True in the server.properties file
2. The target player is currently in creative mode (this is independent of the server game mode, each player can still switch the game mode with the gm command by default)
3. The behaviour of that particular npc was changed (either via editnpc command, or it was changed for all npcs of that type in the definitions.db file)

Of course a plugin can also change the behaviour of npcs.

If only bears don't attack, it's most likely either a plugin or the definitions.db file was modified (or individual npcs were modified with the "editnpc" command). If no hostile npc attacks, it's most likely the "PeacefulMode" setting, or the player is in creative mode (or a plugin changes the behaviour).
