You misunderstand: I DON'T want different user processes communicating with each other. I was worried that I've have to do something extraordinary to prevent this from happening, but apparently Mach ports taken care of that for me.
And opening any kind of service port creates a potential security hole between users. If Mach ports prevent users from communicating or seeing services created by other users, then that's exactly what I want.
I fully intend to use IP ports and Bonjour for intra-machine communications, but only for those services that are intra-machine.
