Some other random notes: for your unix-domain-socket
authentication efforts, Dave, you don't need to know
about SASL (I think), just connection attributes - I
believe we will be able to set PCP_ATTR_USERID and
PCP_ATTR_GROUPID (see SO_PASSCRED on unix(7) man page)
from within pmcd for a connection.  See the ClientInfo
structure in pmcd which has an attribute hash for each
connection ... we will want those two attributes set
automatically for all unix domain connections.
OK. I'll keep this in mind.
