Authentication is required by default for broadcast because any other node in the network can send you packets via the broadcast address. If you turn off authentication (disable auth) then it does not try to authenticate the server sending the broadcast packets which can be dangerous. The miscopt page looks like it's wrong about "enable bclient" since it always seems to be enabled by default.
