I need to know how to secure a unix socket. That is I need to be able to tell who is connecting to it so that I can close the socket if I don't want to talk to a particular person. How is this done? With inet sockets you can check to make sure that the socket was opened on a reserved port is there anything like this for unix sockets? Please reply with email. If this is not a dumb question and people are interested I will post a summery. Thanks
