i'm afraid i'm not being pedantic. it will only work locally, because
its interface (like #D's) is peculiar: the file descriptor number
for the connection to protect is included in the "fd" ctl request,
and that is not going to be correct at the remote end.
it works locally because the kernel device of course has
access to the correct file descriptor table to index by the number
to find the right Chan for the connection.
