It's been done! cat somefile | authtcp x.x.x.x y sh -c 'cat >&6'.

Specify -XR if you don't want RFC 931 security. Use multitee 0:6 instead
of sh -c 'cat >&6' if you have multitee.

authtcp and attachport are in the auth package, which appeared in
c.s.unix volume 22. (multitee was also published in c.s.unix.)
