Yeah, that's tricky.  The handshake at send/recv time requires some
ordering which we can't enforce.  Too bad.

In theory, if the SO_PEERCRED stuff wouldn't be required for openssh,
we could really do without the handshake.  The peers are restricted to
the local machine anyway, and as with all communication, the peers have
to know the protocol.

Thanks!  I'll look into it in the next couple of days.

Yeah, we should try to come up with another technique.  Off the top of
my head I'm not sure if the above is feasible, but we should certainly
discuss this further.
