I'm not that familiar with the code, but I know that the documentation
does talk about the fam daemon contacting fam daemons on other machines to
monitor NFS mounted files. Therefor fam daemons can talk to each other but
I doubt that clients can do it. I think one way that the daemon does
security is that it only talks to connections coming from secure port(s).
