In the FreeBSD implimentation, the sender must attach a message of type SCM_CREDS and the kernel will correctly fill in the fields. FreeBSD also supports a socketoption which returns a structure containing the credentials of the process at the far end. It is used to impliment getpeereid - have a look at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/gen/getpeereid.c?rev=1.4.2.2 for an example. David.
