Another strategy would be to use setuid like Alan is doing.  I'd
rather have them be two separate apps, that insures that there is no
possibility of information transfer between users.

If we are using the same server...
Classified military user logins and uses the server
he logs out and another user logs in using the same server
Now this user searches all of the internal buffers for classified info.

If we start a new server process this can't happen.
