- <pinotree> basically, i'm trying to implement socket credentials for local
- sockets, and i guessed doing it in pflocal would be the appropriate place
- <pinotree> what i thought was filling the cmsg data for MSG_CRED at
- S_socket_recv() call
- <pinotree> in case i missed it, would there be a way to "identify" the
- other side of the port associated to the sock_user of that call?
- <pochu> pinotree: that's needed by dbus right? cool! (and I don't know)
- <pinotree> (yes, and gamin)
- <youpi> pinotree: you have them already, they're just not stored
- <youpi> see S_io_reauthenticate
- <youpi> Throw away the ids we went through all that trouble to get...
- <youpi> (comment)
- * pinotree looks
- <pinotree> hm, and who calls that rpc?
- <youpi> everybody
- <youpi> since that's how ext2fs knows the permission to apply, for instance
- <pinotree> ah, i was referring to the reauthenticate of pflocal, not
- auth_server_authenticate()
- <youpi> that's what I'm saying
- <youpi> see __hurd_file_name_lookup_retry, which is the very internal part
- of open()
- <youpi> it calls io_reauthenticate()
- <youpi> to authenticate itself to the underlying translator of the opened
- node
- <pinotree> youpi: so, hm, could be an option make the result of pflocal's
- S_io_reauthenticate cached in the sock_user struct?
- <youpi> yes
- <pinotree> nice thanks, i will try that change first

- <pinotree> youpi: while debugging #700530, it seems that xorg does not have
- working socket credentials on kfreebsd (and hurd too)
- <pinotree> julien provided sune with
- http://people.debian.org/~jcristau/kbsd-peercred.diff to test, but of
- course that won't work for us (even if we would have working socket
- credentials with cmsg)
- <pinotree> (that patch is not tested yet)
- <pinotree> at least, we're aware there's another place in need for working
- socket credentials now
- <youpi> k
- <pinotree> youpi: (the patch above has been confirmed to work, with
- s/SOL_SOCKET/0/ )
- <youpi> 0 ?!
- <pinotree> yeah
