Oh, it just occurred to me that those lines aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Is that correct? So one allows local connections, another restricts authentication to a given group. I assumed that they both controlled access to a single connection mechanism of some sort.

In any case, thanks for the help getting this going. Works nicely now. My only remaining question is whether it is possible to use the Braille keyboard on the Orbit under Orca? It works fine on the console, but is unresponsive under Orca/X. I'd thought to use the Orbit as a small keyboard on a screenless Intel NUC as a laptop replacement, but looks like I may need to spring for a separate keyboard there as well.

If by "kernel" you mean the Linux kernel, I did nothing at all with the
kernel. I simply replaced this line:

#api-parameters Auth=group:brlapi        # Allow some local group

with this one:

api-parameters Host=:0            # Accept only local Unix connections
okay. That's what you meant by:

I enabled local-only auth via a Unix socket.
And then it worked. But my user is in the brlapi group, so I'm not clear on
why I received logs implying that it wasn't.
It's been a long time since I've looked at the capability, but I don't think
that it's possible to determine which user and/or groups the client is in when
an IP socket is being used.
