It may not be necessary at all. But what I meant is I don't know what
the default permissinos ar eon a shared mem/event object in the global
namespace. On the naemd pipe it's "creator/owner full" (so the postgres
account itself can issue kills), "administrators full" (so anybody who
is admin on the box can) and "system full" (so the local system can
issue them). If this is not the default on the other class of objects,
we'll need to set specific permissions.
