Not sure if we are talking about the same thing. I meant flooding the
local socket (or similar) with requests, not access control.
Well, making socket services scalable is not entirely trivial, but i
figure the number of parallel connections a Linux system should be
able to handle is still higher than the number of processes it allows
to run in parallel...
