Comment(by 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 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.
