The bind error tells me that the auth2 server cannot be reached (or horms
is not a valid user. With au you first authenticate yourself (as 
administrator) and then activate or change the user information.

That is a good reason for why it didn't work. auth2 is not started by
startserver.

  /etc/rc.d/init.d/auth2.init start

should start it correctly. You can look in /vice/auth2/AuthLog, to see
if there was a problem starting it, or why au fails to connect to the
server.

No, barber used to be a statistics gathering host, the machine does not
exist, and any piece of code still referencing it should have been
disabled long ago. I'll walk through the client and server code to see
where it is still being referenced.
