Not a good idea.  Look at nscd handling for its shmem interface; we use
an attribute to allow certain domains such access, but most domains are
limited to the socket IPC-based interface.  This program should likewise
have some kind of fallback to an IPC-based interface if the shmem
interface isn't allowed.
