These routines are normally called after creating the
    CLIENT handle. The cl_auth
    field of the CLIENT structure should be initialized
    by the AUTH structure returned by some of the
    following routines. The client's authentication information is passed to the
    server when the RPC call is made.
Only the NULL and the
    SYS style of authentication is discussed here.

      undefined after calling auth_destroy().authnone_create()authsys_create()AUTH_SYS authentication information. The parameter
      host is the name of the machine on which the
