For example, no one (that I know of) is on my box except for me. If I don't allow incoming access to a given NG port, then only I (an account on that machine) can access it. If you are on a box with many users, then you have a different problem to address. I don't know of a way to reliably have a user identify/authenticate themselves to a server, from a command-line, using the sort of lightweight streaming protocol that NG uses. You might be able to pipe some sort of key over (a key only your account has rights to read), or connect over a secure socket, but have to weigh that against the main goal, which is running things from the command line with low start-up overhead.
