Hi,
I have read the discusion, and I don't think I like either of the protocols.

In both cases proxies are required to rpc to {Auth | Client} in order to 
pass on the rendezvous handle ,
so proxies will have to trust {Auth | Client}( if a thread performing an 
rpc sets a 0 receive timeout, the rpc will fail ).

In Hurd/mach proxies just pass on port rights, only Client and Server 
have to communicate with Auth.
Client and Server might even be the only tasks who trust Auth.
