That seems like a good solution to me.   Use the owner match for the NEW 
packets, and then just accept all ESTABLISHED packets (independent of owner) 
after that.

No process other than the one you want will be able to send the first packet, 
so there will be no established connections except from the correct 
processes.

Antony.
