There's nothing special about the auth server except for who knows
that its the auth server.  You can always start auth/keyfs and run
aux/listen -t /rc/bin/service.auth on any machine and transform it
into an auth server.

If you want no authentication, you can change both cpu and drawterm.  If
you look closely at the cpu command, you'll see that it negotiates
authentication mechanism.  If you change cpu.c and drawterm.c to allow
a null authentication mechanism, you'll have what you want.  Look at
authmethod in both programs.
