Then you need to define your protocol such that the client and server engage in some sort of identification / authentication exchange when they connect. Client: Who are you? Server: I am PID 12345 Client: That's not who I was expecting, I'm going away! Depending on how secure you need this to be, the exchange might include some kind of cryptographic signature. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
