Milan: sorry I can cam eoff harsh, we've just had a lot of technical
problems with g-s-t and how it handles passwords.  James detailed the
primary problem.  As an earlier work-around, we had to force it to
correctly select the system's password hashing algorithm, which it had
not been doing correctly either.

As to how to pass the clear-text password, I like the idea of pipes or
fds, as those are well-prove and light-weight.  negotiating SSL over
dbus seems over-engineered for this situation.  If permissions to the
pipe can be correctly managed by stb, the named pipe for gst to write to
(with the name passed over dbus?) seems like the best match for this?
