Ok this is harmless, and basically "much ado about nothing".
I think, in your paranoia you are thinking of software that
is badly designed. Cfservd is designed not to have the problems
that you are all talking about.

Go ahead and implement it as a variable to control: in cfservd.
Please use the latest sources, not your modified old ones.
