Remoting is "insecure" in that it does not provide built-in authnetication
or authorization mechanisms. So, it's up to you to write your own depending
on the needs of your application. The same would apply to any sockets-based
app you wrote yourself. Remoting just provides a nice layer over top of
sockets for transporting method calls between client and server.
