https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=215202 Bug ID: 215202 Summary: LOCAL_PEERCRED / xucred does not have process ID Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: greg@unrelenting.technology Applications like the 'sway' Wayland compositor rely on getting the socket peer's pid for IPC security. It would be nice to get FreeBSD to report the pid, not just uid and gids, through the LOCAL_PEERCRED option. >From the commit that fixed bug #102956 (SO_PEERCRED in Linux emulation): "Temporarily use 0 for pid member as the FreeBSD does not cache remote UNIX domain socket peer pid" So adding pid to LOCAL_PEERCRED would allow a simple improvement to Linux compatibility as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
