Let us not forget, however, that using X authentication in NAS would be
very nice! If I'm not mistaken, right now the ability to connect to the
server means you get to use the server. Thus right now, you seem to
get either security (by using a Unix domain socket) or network access
(by using a TCP/IP socket), but not both.
(Although maybe there are ssh tricks available? Can ssh redirect a Unix
domain socket to another Unix domain socket?)
