Don't a stream socket imply that we can just listen on a file descriptor
for the reply?  That's certainly my understanding of how winbindd works.

The datagram socket requires that we register an ID, and create a file.
Currently, we don't have a good way to ask for a unique ID, assuming
multiple possible messaging contexts in a client application (therefore
pid isn't an option).

I honestly don't care how this is solved, but I didn't want to litter my
little random() hack in more code, nor prevent the introduction of a
better solution (no matter how derived).
