Re: UNIX credential passing

[ Kris Kennaway <kris@xxxxxxxxxxx> ]

I want to make use of UNIX credential passing on a local domain socket
to verify the identity of a user connecting to a privileged service.
However it looks like the socket module doesn't implement
sendmsg/recvmsg wrappers, and I can't find another module that does this
either. Is there something I have missed?

Illustrates, how to use socket credentials without sendmsg/recvmsg and so
without any need for patching.
