Well, the daemon could update itself with its own privileges. How
about maintaining authentication for a channel at runtime in RAM. When
the daemon restarts it is lost. The channel will not be shared with
other users. So every user maintains their own channels. When a
channel reconnects it authenticates itself again.

There really is no reason to share individual channels between users
(other then their outputs).
