If you're using systemd they just recently introduced run0 which works very similarly to what's talked about here

Interesting take.

Also, love seeing "wheel". Don't love "sudo".

Neat. I wish OpenSSH better support this use case. The instruction involve multiple moving parts on top of OpenSSH (s6-ipcserver, socat or custom scripts) and a number of extra options for the client. That probably adds overhead. It would probably be easier and more efficient if OpenSSH would directly support Unix sockets.
