+Security features:
+ The server should authenticate itself for the clients
+ This will require that the display server is not
+ identified by an index by instead by the PID
+ of the kernel, and that the master server passes
+ file descriptors to the kernel and let the kernel
+ sent its credentials to the client to prove that
+ it is the correct server. Sockets cannot be hijacked
+ so the server does not need to send its credentials
+ to the kernel
+
+ Clients should send their credentials upon connection.
+ Sockets cannot be hijacked so the credentials are
+ valid forever.
+
+ The server should insert the credentials of each client
+ a message pass through and why the the message passed
+ through that client, and whether the message was modified.
+
+ Clients should be able to tell the server who is allowed
+ to see a message (all that can see are allowed to modify)
+ based on PID, UID, GID, the permissions, owner and
+ group of the executable, and the path of the executable,
+ and possibly other attributes.
