It makes sense that an option in the command line could disable needauth entirely. It is becoming hard to track all the suggestions so if you are interested in this I suggest filing enhancement reports / the wiki page.
I think what we might do in a relatively easy and generic way, is to allow for setting individual preferences settings from the command-line, e.g.: alias lyx-safe='/usr/bin/lyx -Duse_converter_needauth_forbidden=true' alias lyx-unsafe='/usr/bin/lyx -Duse_converter_needauth_forbidden=false -Duse_converter_needauth=false' that would override whatever one has in the ~/.lyx/preferences config. This might be useful beyond needauth et al. Bye, T.
