Kali

; A comrade is a Kali process with no REPL.
;
; The idea is to provide Kali as a service.
;   - add a line to /etc/inetd.conf to start comrades
;   - add a line to /etc/services to get the port number
;   - make a comrade image that talks to stdin and stdout, telling them
;     the port on which it is listening for connections.  Stdout should
;     be redirected to stderr.
