It looks like vstart.sh does not work without authx enabled. Given that,
I'd propose to change the default to having cephx be enabled and then
use the -x flag to disable cephx.
Interestingly enough, the help output for vstart.sh already states that
the -x flag disables authx (which is not the case at present, but is
after this patch is applied).
I've attached a patch to vstart that 1) changes the mention of authx to
cephx for consistency and 2) defaults vstart.sh to using cephx with the
-x flag now serving to disable cephx.
Best,
