couple of potential problems:

a) the pipes don't go away when you log out; maybe ORCLOSE would be a
good flag to add to the create.

b) anyone can pretend to be anyone else, or deny access to anyone else.

i'd think that b) could be solved quite simply by doing a little 9p
server and using authentication, but auth(2) doesn't seem to explain
server-side authentication overly much (auth_rpc gets a mention, but
that's all), and...  /sys/src/cmd/fossil/9auth.c (the only 9p code i
could think of that does auth) seems a little more complicated than i
was after.  maybe i've missed something and perhaps lib9p can handle
authentication automatically? (might be nice)

only 368 words though.
