For PIX/ASA it is configurable whether to enable or disable XAuth, this
i know from experience.

For example, if you don't specify
crypto map mymap client authentication RADIUS or LOCAL
in PIX 6, you will get in with just a group authentication /PSK.

I am not 100% positive with IOS implementation, need to lab it up, since
a rule "assume nothing" is very much in-line with Cisco. :-)
