Actually, if you don't need any security at all, you may be able to get
by without kaserver or a krb5 kdc. If you start bosserver with -noauth,
and 'bos addkey' some random key, I think you'll still be able to run
stuff. Then everything you run will either be entirely unauthenticated,
or will be run as a superuser with -localauth.

I don't think I've ever tried that, but I think it would work. If you
never run 'klog' or 'aklog', etc, you don't really need a kdc.
