---------------------------------+---------------------------
 It's fairly easy to limit the node interface, by setting something like:
 web.port = unix:/home/$USER/.tahoe/websocket:mode=600

 The problem is, web browsers can't connect to it. That much is expected,
 but neither can the tahoe CLI. It refuses any node.url that does not begin
 with http or https, and I found no way to make it connect to a UNIX
 socket.

 The downside with a TCP socket is it lets all local users use the
 filesystem, even if they can't find your files in it without the caps.
