I guess you could hard code the cookie file and make it a public value 
(a bit like a WPA key on your wireless I guess), but it's not really 
ideal I agree.

The easiest way in a trusted network is just to load the 
module-native-protocol-tcp module with the arguments:
   auth-anonymous=1
and perhaps an ip ACL for some semblence of security
   auth-ip-acl=192.168.0.0/16

The details are on the Wiki:
