Compared to the Nix build daemon, our daemon can accept connections over
TCP in addition to Unix-domain sockets, so the bit that does:

  store->createUser(userName, userId);

won’t work in that context (it would create ‘per-user/root’.)

I don’t see how to let the daemon create ‘per-user/$USER’ on behalf of
the client for clients connecting over TCP.  Or we’d need to add a
challenge mechanism or authentication.

Thoughts?
