But locking down ptrace() might be a good way to prevent an exploited connection
from messing with another one in forked servers. I think the only other way would be to bind as
root, then setuid() to one of a pool of uids or something...I hope no one's doing that
A pool of UIDs is not required, just doing setuid() after exec() will make the kernel think the process
is in "setuid state" and won't allow other processes ptrace it.
