Rachel ☛ Janky remote backups without root on the far end
There's another way the nbd client can work: it will totally connect to a stream-style Unix domain socket. As long as whatever is on the other end of that socket speaks the right language, it doesn't matter where it is or what it is. Thus, I needed to make a Unix domain socket reach over the network to the other end of a ssh connection.
Here's what happened: I wrote some grungy plumbing stuff (my specialty) that sets up a Unix domain socket on my local machine. It does it in a directory where only I can access it, and it waits for a connection. Once it gets one, it forks, and the child fires up a ssh to the far end to invoke the nbd server (a trivial userspace thing I can leave in my personal bin directory).
