So I implemented a program that listens a socket and allowsremotely starting programs:

No TCP, only UNIX socket;

Using sendfd/recvfd;

No authentication, but preseving user (SO_PEERCRED);

Preserving signals;

Passing command line and environment variables as array;

Preserving controlling terminal (1/2);

Preserving process parents (failed);

I finished playing with LXC at that moment, but used ”dive”project as playground.

More features creeped in, so I created ”nocreep” branch in Gitto preserve ”poor man’s sshd” dive as a little program.
