The connection server doesn't know which auth server to use.  If you have one,
there are a number of ways to proceed.

1) echo -n '	auth=<ip-address-of-auth-server> >> /net/ndb'
2) fix your /lib/ndb/local so that it knows what the auth server is for your
  system.  You can do this by 
 a) adding an 'auth=<ip-address-of-auth-server> to the network entry for your system
 b) adding an 'auth=<ip-address-of-auth-server> to the network entry for your network

I'ld do 2b if you have multiple systems since it will solve it for all of them.
