I realize this could open up some holes, it'd just have to be designed well
environment variables could help
user, keeps it cross platform but less secure (can specify user whe telnet in)
uid, not cross-platform but a bit more secure
magic cookie, cross-platform
use named pipes instead of sockets to do authenticated-client to message
client communication
similar yet more secure means (possible?, not cross-platform):
logon to authenticate
go into the background
a shell script is run to send a signal to the authenticated client
a sub-client splits into the foreground
