+#   Module that provides support for local connections between secure
+#   lonc and secure lond.
+#
+#   A local connection exchanges one-time session keys through a 
+#   file that is written in the certificate directory by lonc and
+#   read/deleted by lond.  The file is created with permissions
+#   rw------- (0600) to prevent it from being snooped unless the system
+#   itself has been broken.  In addition the file will not be around
+#   for very long so it will be hard to find.
