   29: #   Module that provides support for local connections between secure
   30: #   lonc and secure lond.
   31: #
   32: #   A local connection exchanges one-time session keys through a 
   33: #   file that is written in the certificate directory by lonc and
   34: #   read/deleted by lond.  The file is created with permissions
   35: #   rw------- (0600) to prevent it from being snooped unless the system
   36: #   itself has been broken.  In addition the file will not be around
   37: #   for very long so it will be hard to find.
