As always, however, beware the security implications of netreceive! (I'd be grateful if anyone knows an easy way to put some kind of secure authorization protocol under netsend/netreceive.)
I think that there may be more than one solution to this problem
- adding a filter mechanism to netreceive, so it will only
accept a certain set of messages.
- netreceive only accepts connections from certain hosts
- authorisation
For installations and the like, having a firewall will always be a good idea.
