The MAY_BYPASS_GSS flag currently also bypasses TLS restrictions.  With
your change it doesn't.  I don't think we want to make that change.

I think that what you want to do makes sense.  Higher security can be
downgraded to AUTH_UNIX, but AUTH_NULL mustn't be upgraded to to
AUTH_UNIX.

Maybe that needs to be explicit in the code.  The bypass is ONLY allowed
for AUTH_UNIX and only if something other than AUTH_NULL is allowed.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
