Two processes communicate with the help of a socket.
(Socket has the type PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
The first process runs as a background demon (using inetd) and waits
for incoming messages from the second process.
Problem:
How can the first process obtain the UID and GID of the second process
right from the socket without any extra message from the second process.
We want to disable/enable services of process one for certain
UID's and GID's without changing the source code of the second process.
Thanks, Georg.
