They're supposed to call vauth_open(), but this is an authentication
module function.  It wouldn't make sense to include configuration here.

5.5 is moving towards an initialization type function, but there isn't
one as of yet.  It will most likely end up being a part of the config
file API.

They are required because currently, the Makefiles want to mkdir and
chown, etc.
