I guess I should clarify myself :^) The use of LOCAL in second column
is legitimate, whenever the first column describes a non-empty realm.
Such use means that the realm will be handled locally, i.e. by the
server itself. Now,  NOREALM means absense of the explicit realm
specification in the user name. By default such user names are always
handled locally, thus the notation `NOREALM LOCAL...' is senseless,
and that's why LOCAL is meaningless in this context.
