Should it give an error message? That would be an improvement. - server.el generates the authentication string with `random', but Emacs uses the same seed every time. I'm reluctant to call (random t) in server.el; Emacs doesn't do it for a good reason (repeatability). Let's make (random 'random) generate a new seed, use it, then restore the old one, so that it has no effect on the sequence. This is a much smaller change than adding a means to read and set the random seed. I'd rather not do the latter now, but we could do it later.
