Oh. I had looked into it. But even after reading it for few times I
could not understand what is difference between package like ucspi-ipc
and Dan's ucspi-tcp or Gerrit's ipsvd, regarding what I want to achieve.

Right now I can have a script running on a port, using tcpserver, to addusers and thru' a
passphrase and/or with -x switch I can add the security. What does
ucspi-ipc offer more?
I would *highly* appreciate some easy examples on this from someone who
might have implemented this kind of thing before.

Thanks and for a while I think I will continue here cos' I am not too
sure how active the ucspi-ipc is? And by chance the author of ucspi-ipc
might be lurking here too.

Thanks a lot for the help and bye.
With warm regards,
