For those not aware, having access to the LXD API is basically equivalent (straightforward path) to root on the physical host, so it's something which must be very closely guarded. I have no doubt that Martin knows what he's doing and I'm happy that socat makes it reasonably simple to do what he wants, I'm just very worried about less knowledgeable users who will follow an easy recipe only somewhere and end up effectively exposing a root shell to the world.
