I suppose the use case is when guix-daemon runs on a machine and is accessed over TCP/IP (with GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET=guix://…) from other machines, right? In this case, I thought guix-daemon could explicitly check whether the peer is remote, and disable GC in that case. That is, ‘guix gc’ would still work locally on the machine that runs guix-daemon, but it would no longer work remotely. How does that sound? Thanks, Ludo’.
