[Openvpn-users] server mode without any auth & encryption

Hello list,

I've spent the last hour researching how to set up an openvpn server
without any encryption whatsoever, not even shared keys, and it seems 
like it's impossible to do. The reason encryption is not needed is that
client connections arrive over secure links (ssh sessions with 1 time
passwords).
In other words if you are able to connect to the openvpn server that's
good enough and there
is no need for additional overhead (i.e. yet more encryption or
authentication).
Why server mode you might wonder?
Because I want the server to push several subnets to the clients.
I want all the benefits of server mode without the cost of auth &
encryption.
Thanks for your help.
