What benefits do you get in using having socat talk to mtn via a Unix
domain socket instead of the tcp socket on localhost?

I guess there are:

* unix permission checking on socket, so you can restrict access to
  certain users on remote machine.

* possibly better performance.

Anyway just my thoughts.


I think this sounds like a good idea.



Another thought: maybe you could get it to work it with the patch for
openssh for forwarding unix domain socket connections (I haven't
tested it so I don't know how good this is) instead or relying on
socat - it seems slightly cleaner this way, although it won't work
without a patched ssh :-(.
