Note that this setup may not be safe unless you've disabled logins as none. 
Otherwise, someone could telnet into your auth server as none,
run 'disk/kfscmd allow', and then change anything they want.

I have tried this on my standalone terminal, though I haven't
tested it with a cpu kernel to see if it behaves differently.
