I suppose the use case is when guix-daemon runs on a machine and is
accessed over TCP/IP (with GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET=guix://…) from other
machines, right?
In this case, I thought guix-daemon could explicitly check whether the
peer is remote, and disable GC in that case. That is, ‘guix gc’ would
still work locally on the machine that runs guix-daemon, but it would no
longer work remotely.
How does that sound?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
