same with sparc. Solaris uses a loopback device (/dev/ticotsord) and
streams for emulating unix domain sockets.
recently, I've been trying to write some code that would give me the
user id of the person at the other end of a unix socket or tli
connection, but I haven't had much luck. The only way I think I could
to this would be to poke around in the kernel structures for the tl
device, which I really don't want to do. The undocumented door calls
seem to provide authentication information, but that would be a worse.
Oh, well. Anyone have any ideas?
There might even be a way around the directory permissions. I don't
know if the tl device is looking at the file, or the socket emulation
code in the client is trying to be clever.
