yeah - i know this one. this is how you can get pid/uid/gid from the other end of a unix socke. how do you get the client and client_session string (in a way that the client can't lie to you)? >> if these are provided by the client... a client can just lie. > > You're correct. > >> why not just provide the PID of the client directly to cynara and it does >> the rest?
