Comment(by rransom):

 Replying to [comment:11 arma]:
 > This feature reminds me of a related feature mwenge advocated for a long
 time -- letting a controller "lock" the control port with its connection,
 so nobody else gets to connect so long as it remains connected. That way
 once your controller is connected, assuming you mean to have only one
 controller, some jerk can't use a flash applet to look up your control
 password and connect.

 That's completely orthogonal to this feature, even if it would be used
 together with this one in almost all cases.

 > That idea may have a trac number or a proposal number, but I don't see
 it. If it doesn't, and it's still a good idea, we should record it
 somewhere.

 I don't see a Trac ticket for it, and a duplicate ticket wouldn't hurt us
 much.
