The first authentication is actually the authentication to get *into*
the TS via the port 2000+x, the system treats a connection from the
command line the same as as a remote connection to the port 2000+x, so
if you disable the authentication on the line (as Steve has suggested),
you will actually allow unauthenticated remote access to the ports, and
I'm not sure if this is what you want.
