Because vmware-authd is invoked using inetd. That's the component
utilized for user authentication given you run VMWare Server in a real
"server" environment, possibly providing (private as well as public)
virtual machines for a bunch of different users. You surely want to
have authentication here. ;)

Cheers,
Kris
