Unfortunately, a very first prototype did not work. If receiving of 
secret+cred is delayed until first send()/recv(), postfix hangs in first 
send() after the connect(). During startup, the postfix master calls 
connect() and first client send() before corresponding server accept() 
is called.

So I decided to provide a intermediate solution for now, see:
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2014-q3/msg00015.html

For the long term, this approach may work or not:
Remove the complete handshake over TCP. Maintain a table of current TCP 
connections in the socket "file". The table contains pid, TCP port and 
credentials for the server which did the (first) listen() call and for 
all connected clients. Some hashes could be added to check for validity.

Works with postfix.

Thanks,
