This could be either SSH or a plain direct connection, which is
acceptable on a LAN.
A simple way to test the latter is with ‘socat’, something along the
lines of what I described at:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-02/msg00680.html
It would be great if you could check whether something like this works
for you.
Then we could also have built-in support for that in the daemon and
clients, so that it’s more convenient.
Thanks,
